Afghani VP assassinated

Just saw this & haven't had time to listen completely..

comments?

That Afghanistan has a long way to go ... and sadly our task there is not done yet.

Then again, it's just a typical day in the Middle East. It's not religion, it's culture.

Too true, Reg. Too true.

Hmm. This is odd. This story got your attention, but the gang rape of an 18-year-old girl sanctioned by a local tribal council to punish her 11-year-old brother in Pakistan did not.

Again, odd.

Not odd at all. Quite simple actually. I don't watch CNN. Also the first I'd seen of it.
