astounding?  for dubya and company?  it wouldn't astound me.  however
there's a possibility that it's related to the civil war in afganistan.
apparently the group opposing the taliban was attacked yesterday so what's
happening in kabul might be related to that.  the fact that they directly
nailed an ammunition dump right off (as opposed to say, oh, a chinese
embassy) seems to be an indication of non us military involvement...
