Someone should care, maybe not you....

My thoughts on many things including the army, war, politics, the military corrections system, chaos, life, books, movies, and why there is no blue food. Feel free to comment on what I say. Feedback is nice.

Wow. Yesterday Hamid Karzai called into question the legitimacy of the Durand Line, the British created border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. I did a post a couple of years ago on that issue and why it is a REAL flash point in the area. Durrand Line It is suspected that Karzai is pulling this out to try and pull the country together before the elections next year and make it easier for his chosen successor to get the office. If he keeps it up he may instead seriously inflame relations between the two countries. Of course that begs the question, Could their relationship really get much worse? (Short of actual Open War)
