1. Now...I don't know about you...but nobody could talk me into going there!

I don't give a shit if it's for freedom or not. Fuck that. I'm not afraid to die. After all it's inevitable. But at the same time I'm no "FOOL". People with common sense should not be traveling to the Middle East.

*Hint: COMMON SENSE

3. Ditto -- I've been to many hot spots over the past 10 years

working on elections ...this is one I will watch from afar. Every election in these troubled regions of the world will have its own "NO GO" areas ...but in this case the entire country is a "NO GO" zone.

2. So al-Zarqawi is operating in AFG now?

He must be because al-Zarqawi is responsible for everything that goes on in that region.
