If you've been following the news at all closely lately, you know that there are widely varying accounts of the recent battle in the Shah-i-Kot valley. The Pentagon claims it was a great success, but Bush says there will be a lot more fighting in Afghanistan. Afghan allies of the U.S. claim many of the enemy fighters escaped. Also, there is a question about the composition of the forces on the other side. Are they Taliban and Al Qaeda "holdouts," or are they Afghans who resent the U.S. terror bombing and imperialist occupation of their country? Inquiring minds want to know! It's difficult to know what is really taking place on the ground in Afhganistan, given the fog of secrecy and disinformation from the U.S. military. Also, there's a serious prospect of widening involvement, with Bush rattling his nuclear sabers for an attack on Iraq. So here's your chance to vote on the subject, and express your opinion. Will the U.S. lose this war? Does it face protracted guerilla warfare in Afghanistan? What happens if the U.S. attacks Iraq-- will all hell break loose?
