Re: Aug 2005 - Taliban Executes Afghan Woman (none / 1)

I check in on that site periodically and wonder how Afghanistan is simply off the radar completely for people in the US..almost like our invasion there either never happened or we 'won' and now everything is all perfect so........

Is Afghanistan covered more in the news over here?

I don't speak many languages but the only place Afghanistan is regularly covered is in Pakistan. It also gets regular coverage on Al-Jazeera. Other than that, it might as well not exist even with Americans blowing up.

I check Al-Jazeera regularly also...among all the deaths in Afghanistan in the last month or so the deaths for American troops continues to escalate-5 just this week I believe...and no one in the US seems to give a shit. I just don't get it.
