I agree with you. I have come to the conclusion that I have everything that I need to know right now about what is going on. The books are a waste of money and time, and only serve to prove that assumptions were correct. I will post on my thread from now on, and I am not going to get involved with arguments with people (I won't even post on those threads). I have been trying to find an organization here (on the East Coast) that holds fund raising events for Afghanistan, but have not found anything. If you know of any, please let me know. I feel like I have to do something within reason now. I feel like talking doesn't really mean anything at this moment, and that one has to start helping in some way.
