Thread Name: Afghanistan - then and now
Subject: RE: Afghanistan - then and now
Yeah . . . India. 1947 was a very bad year. 2 million killed and up to 20 million displaced. They're still fighting, as are Palestinians. But this isn't about Tu Quoque. This is about Afghanistan now, this week.

The point is, a lot of what is happening is behind closed doors, under wraps, SECRET. There is a mess over there but there is a lot going on that is only conjecture right now. You'll probably have to look at the Instagram "Good News" account to see a steady trickle of escaped-Afghanistan-in-the-nick-of-time stories. Refugees reunited with their US allies. It seems a lot of the work going on is piecemeal, individuals pulling strings from home trying to rescue their Afghan co-workers and employees.
