Remember Afghanistan? Insurgents bring suicide terror to country

"More than 1,600 were killed in 2005, and the murder rate is rising. The rule of law has collapsed. The government is trapped in its own fortified compound in the capital."

For a long time I've known (through alternative news sources and such) that the "coalition" basically only controls Kabul, while the tribal leaders and the Taliban still run most of the rest of the country. So not only are we losing Iraq, but Afghanistan, too.
