To all the grandstanding politicians and pundits who say that the troops should have stayed: you go, and please give your lives. This country doesn't need you.


Afghanistan

They sent the kid into a corner, had him
Beat his head against the walls for
Nearly twenty years. At last, some
Others led him out. He's saying that
He's got a headache. Those who put
Him in the corner claim that he was
Fine until the others set him free.
