yes, a great day indeed for Afghanistan ... something to think about for all those who were against US military action against the Taliban

but what exactly does that have to do with the US exploration of Mars?  ... or did i miss something here?  

i'm sure the Europeans (esp. the Brits) are gritting their teeth right about now

few days after their Mars lander (Beagle 2) is lost, the good old US of A lands its rover right smack on target with clockwork precision

still, not to gloat too much, i wish ESA all the best, hopefully the NASA orbiter(s) will help locate Beagle 2 (which may have landed but failed to deploy its antenna)

I think I need to turn in my membership now.  

First, NOSC makes a glaring error in punctuation in a different post. Then, both of you, the President and the Brainiac, miss the simplicity of this post.  Oy...what is the world coming to?

To lift a quote from James Carville, "It's the burqa, stupids!".  The point The Dude was making is that the "liberated ladies" aren't wearing the Afghan burqa.  Of course, he spelled it wrong on his link (to quote Nigel Tufnel, "That's nitpicking, isn't it?"), and it is a far cry from a suffrage movement, but let me see, try to be positive...okay:  "Glory and crumpets, I am sure that the Afghan men are quaking in their boots!".  How's that?  

Now, if we could only get a decent amount of women in THIS country interested in real feminism again...oops, wrong audience for that one.

BTW, Singey...what is up with your drumbeating?  I can't remember hearing of many people who were against the Taliban getting swatted.

ReOH!

Your modesty is commendable, Nicole.
