Afghanistan Still At War

With the announcement this week that the Nobel Peace prize winning group, Doctors Without Borders will be withdrawing from Afghanistan, we are reminded that the war to stabalize the country is unfinished. There is hope that some national elections will be held in October and millions of Afghans are registering to vote for the first time despite the general unrest and threats from AlQueda. 50 militants were killed in one of the bloodiest battles since the US invaded as troops continue to search for Osama Bin Laden. With more police on the streets on Manhatten than troops in Afghanistan, will the elections run smoothly? Only time will tell.
