Or why not support and encourage the UN and NATO, who is already there, to spend more effort on situations like this? There are solutions. Blaming, fault finding and sniping are the purvue of the lazy.

Lets stop pointing fingers at everyone else. This hospital needs help. Care to make a donation? How about offering what medical help you can? Why not go there as a teacher and help the women to understand the need for proper care? Why not go to the Taliban and ask them for permission to teach their families the need for hygiene? If you can't go, then send someone. Support a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist, a janitor or anyone else.

God forgive us! Our ignorant President is busy spending billions of dollars on Iraq, while this travesty is going on in Afghanistan, where we were supposed to be chasing Bin Laden out. It's a sin what's happening in this video. God bless that doctor!
