Nation-building in Af-Pak [Andy McCarthy]
A bombing at a women's market in Peshawar has killed at least 57 people; 21 American soldiers (and three DEA agents) were killed in a 48-hour period, 14 in a helicopter crash and eight by IED bombings, bringing to 53 the number of Americans killed in Afghanistan this month (the highest death-toll for a single month since U.S. forces invaded Afghanistan eight years ago); a team of Taliban gunmen has raided a Kabul guest house used by the U.N., killing at least 12 people including six U.N. staffers (one, an American); and Karzai's brother, allegedly a major player in international opium trafficking, has been on the CIA's payroll for eight years.
Not to worry, though. Senator Kerry is on the case . . .
