I am. If you don't know whats going on: The Taliban (about 600 Taliban insurgents) have seized dozens villages in the south of Afghanistan. NATO and the Afghan army are going in to try and get the Taliban out of power in those villages. Leaflets were dropped by plane on the villages to warn to citizens to take cover before the battles started. The Taliban is getting hunkered down for it. I keep refreshing the CNN website every several minutes for updates. On a wholly separate issue, the fact that Mozilla Firefox doesn't recognize the word "Taliban" in the spell check annoys me. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/06/17/afghanistan.fight/index.html#cnnSTCText http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1815258,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topics

You know I was wondering if this story was going to escalate when I saw it in the NYT a few days ago.

"Oh, that's terrible" is all I said when I heard of it.

I don't know that I'm "freaking out" about it. I think it's rather obvious that we intend to hit those strongholds, and people are going to die on both sides. The war has become such an ingrained part of our world that it's just another day in the news. I think it's horrible that we are bogged down there and people are dying, and the situation is pretty much out of control now.

Im not to worried about it. Honestly, its going to be a big battle, and its going to be sad, because several civilians are going to get killed, but like I said, Im not to worried about it. Between the Afghan army, and the UN, and all the weapons the US special forces smuggled in there the past 20 years, I dont think it will be to bad. Now of course, the guns are probably in Taliban hands by now, but still, I dont think things will get to far out of control.
