Afghanistan

So, Afghanistan isn't exactly going swimmingly, but it seems to be on a wobbly uphill path, rather than degrading into interminable violence like the president's My Pet War.

On the other hand, like I said, Iraq is totally fucked.

Now, where are France, Germany and the UN involved? Afghanistan. Where are France, Germany and the UN not involved? Iraq.

Where is George W. Bush's (and perhaps more importantly, the entire Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush team's) anti-Midas touch concentrated? Iraq.

Lucky Afghanistan.
