I don't love writing long, link-ful diaries, so I was going to use mine to, at least bi-weekly, survey the right-wing blogosphere/non-journalism for the most outrageous things out there. For laughs, for concern, for anger, etc. However, I felt a little incident yesterday was worth writing about.

I have my own feelings on Afghanistan...what we should (or shouldn't) have done in immediate reaction to 9/11, how the conflict has been conducted over two presidencies, etc. I'm going to leave that out of this diary, maybe for another time.

However, something I encountered while working yesterday really sunk a cold reality into me: we're going to be in Afghanistan. Now. Later. For a very, very long time. And "they" aren't planning on "winning" any time soon.
