Victory in Afghanistan!

Where, like democracy flows like water and the Taliban have been routed and all that jazz:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A suicide bombing at an outdoor dog fighting competition killed 80 people and wounded scores more Sunday, a governor said, in what appeared to be the deadliest terror attack in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

Officials said the attack apparently targeted a prominent militia commander who had stood up against the Taliban. He died in the attack. […]

Suicide attacks have been on the rise in Afghanistan, but rarely have they killed so many people. Militants carried out more than 140 suicide attacks in 2007, a record number.

Okay, you may now return to your daily dose of campaign bickering and related nonsense. Cause we all know drama is so much better than reality TV. That is, assuming the cable guys bothered to cover this story.
