All foreigners going to Afghanistan are going to a land peopled by a desperate and murderous enemy to all outsiders.

By killing to most kind and generous and caring outsiders, the enemy more effectively demonstrates their cold-blooded lethality and grim determination to rule the country.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Afghanistan is a land dominated by desperate murderers of the Taliban sort and also of the warlord/opium trade/tribal sort. Some of the common people there support the murderers--- but not all.

Remember that two Afghanis were part of--- and died with --- this medical mission group. And there are many in Afghanistan who were and are friends and cooperators with the medical mission people, who helped them and were helped by them for 30 years or more.

So there are 2 sides. More than 2 sides. As always, we try to distinguish between the executioners and the victims.
