Afghanistan courthouse slaughter

I wonder how long it will take for "democracy" that NATO exported there to take hold.  Maybe we should stay there for several more decades for "nation building".  So much to build, including courthouses.  

Also, have you heard that the Taliban has opened an office in Qatar and are expected to come back with a vengeance?  Karzai better leave with the last of the NATO batches or his goose is cooked.  Feel a twinge of sympathy for NATO's failure?  No? I don't either. There's a saying in my community of sages:  "The curled tail of a dog cannot be straightened even if you try your damnest."  or words to that effect.  The Judeo-Christian nations think they are too smart.  Yup...far too smart at  losing wars  every which way.  Political correctness on the battlefield is the fastest and surest way to lose wars.



From the BBC:
.... A suicide bomb and gun attack  on a courthouse in western Afghanistan has left more than 50 people dead and 90 injured, most of them civilians.
Militants disguised as soldiers tried unsuccessfully to free suspected Taliban members in the capital of Farah province, Afghan officials said.
After a fierce initial gun battle, shooting continued as militants took cover in nearby buildings.
The Taliban said they were behind the attack in Farah, which borders Iran.
This was the deadliest attack in Afghanistan since December 2011 when at least 70 people were killed in a blast at a Shia shrine in Kabul.
A bomb and gun attack on the Farah governor's compound last May left six policemen, a civilian and four attackers dead......
