Drew: what amazed me in Afghanistan is the international commitment to this effort. a little country like Denmark [population 5 million] has 21 killed here so far. 35 countries have major commitment here, Bosnia [part of the former Yugoslavia] is another very active smaller country. I talk to the Bosnians alot, they say half their population was wiped out 15 years ago in their civil war with other parts of what used to be Yugoslavia.
