Today U.S. and British planes attacked various sites in Afghanistan. This is surely the beginning of a long bombing and rooting campaign. Let's hope our soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen accomplish their missions safely and return to us.

I'm glad to see us finally taking some action. The financial stuff is good, but it needs follow-up. I was also glad to see us sending some food and medical supplies to those outside the Taliban's direct influence. We aren't at war with the average Afghan, just the rulers. I'm betting we're a long way from finished though.....

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladin and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come
across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.

Osama Bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afganistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Afganistan.

Uncle Sam (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the
country; nothing can get in or out--virtually impenetrable."

Uncle Sam says, "Fill it with water." reg
