Politics: Primer
To: US Troops in, waitasecond, we still have troops in Afghanistan? Fine. US Troops in Afghanistan

Re: Friends and Enemies
On the left is a Pakistani guardsman, handling, for reasons we don't need to discuss, some unexploded ordnance. We do not shoot Pakistani guardmen. Their dictator-president is our ally in the war on terrorism, so we don't discuss his nuclear ambitions or his rise to power through a coup.
On the right is an Afghan warlord. These guys are, understandably, not exactly playing nicely with us right now, so we've got to keep an eye on them. Many of them may be loyal to the Taliban, which means we may shoot some Afghan warlords.
Finally, here's your test. Who do you shoot?
No. You don't shoot the Pakistani guardsman. He is our ally. Al-ly. Get it?
