At one time, it was Afghanistan which was the breeding ground and export center for terrorism. Now it looks like they are importing lessons from Iraq:

A suicide car bomber struck a convoy of U.S. military vehicles in downtown Kabul on Friday, killing at least 16 people, including two American soldiers, and wounding 29 others, officials and witnesses said.

The blast, near the U.S. Embassy, came as NATO chiefs appealed for member nations to send reinforcements to combat resurgent Taliban militants fanning the deadliest violence in five years. A top British general said the fighting in volatile southern Afghanistan was now more ferocious than in Iraq.

Worse than Iraq?

Many, many people warned the Bush administration to not pull out of Afghanistan too early. The country was never really secured, nor was the Taliban threat eliminated. We left the country in the control of warlords, with only the capital Kabul being in the hands of the official government. The warlords are only interested in the opium, and many are now teaming up with the Taliban again.

Will people now see the real cost of the war in Iraq? It's not just the Iraqis who suffer.
