There's a lot of good news coming out of Afghanistan for us. I'm sorry for the loss of life of civilians and others, but hopefully much of that will now change. Aid can come in now. Multinational peacekeeping troops are ready to get involved. The missionaries were saved. Afghanis are rising up against the Taliban. The political plan looks as good as it can. The Nothern Alliance doesn't seem to have their hearts set on ruling alone. I hope for good outcomes.
