Kerry and Edwards and the intire DNC have claimed that Afghanistan was a complete failure, a quagmire, was going to fall into civil war....
I believe what we have here is a failure to communicate:
Reality road check for Al Qaida, Taliban, warlords, the naysaying "quagmire" folks. Afghanis vote "no" to dictatorship and "yes" to freedom. 
Quote from "Braveheart": They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!
"This is a country that has suffered greatly over the years," said Abdul Mateen, a Pashtun taxi driver, after casting his vote in the city's diplomatic district.
"To be able to cast my vote and participate in the future of my country - this is a dream to be cherished."
Or, to quote, Bob Dylan, hero of the anti-everyting folks, who actually has startling good words about men and freedom:
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

It's a sad, sad day for the leftists when Afghans are able to vote. It's one less thing for their Knight in Whining Armor to sniffle about in our own election campaign.
yep..one more complaint loses it's grip. And I hope you don't mind, but I stole the lyrics idea from you! LOL
Started thinking about it after your many excellent posts. Think that I almost went for some Martina McBride: Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's independence day.
