I agree, one of the things I hate about 'human interest' stories - they shouldn't be in the news in my opinion.
The situation is looking quite nasty in Afghanistan at the moment for British troops, they're dying faster there than they are in Iraq :S
Apparently this isn't guerilla warfare either, according to soldiers accounts I read in the paper today, but rather wave after wave of Taliban fighters attacking their positions.
Sometimes there are five attacks in a day and troops have had to fight hand to hand sometimes due to not being able to shoot them all fast enough.
Ah well, this is what happens when you leave Afghanistan without creating a stable regime. If only someone had listened to the naysayers a couple of years ago when everyone was saying how great and rosy the situation in Afghanistan was...yeah... trying going outside Kabul...
