Afghanistan is going to get rocky as the terrorists get run out of Iraq, they will head straight for Afghanistan. I hope we've got gunships trained on the borders there.

Two of my sons served on the border region. They think we will be there a very long time just due to the makeup of the region. It is going to take them a very long time to move into the current century. They are proud of the work they did but they think that most Americans have no idea of just how isolated the people are over there.

How isolated and how primative the living conditions are. The Afghan people have been living a horror story for the last 50 years. It's been one war right after another, one tyrant after another. Our guys are showing them kindness and compassion for the first times in their lives.

We will never be able to bring the entire country forward, but there will be a few and they can begin the work that will eventually help.
