176 / Disaster: Australia's war in Afghanistan

The parliamentary debate on the merits of our engagement in Afghanistan has begun with a bombshell (no pun intended): Our government & opposition acknowledge that there's no end to the war, but we'll stay anyway.

I can't wait to hear what the Greens MP Adam Bandt and the independent Andrew Wilkie have to say about that. Sparks will fly, hopefully. It is outrageous that Australia is continuing on this evil trajectory … it is a blessing (thanks Saint Mary, I had been praying to you) that we have two MPs who will talk common sense in the unfolding debate.
