The war in Afghanistan remains an uphill battle--quite literally, for the unit of the 10th Mountain Division profiled in this Salon article. Worth reading for a lot of reasons, not least of which is the work still left to be done. One of my greatest fears is that the Iraq hangover will cause many Americans to lose interest in Afghanistan, too.

It would appear that Americans lost interest in Afghanistan a long time ago. Fixated on Iraq, the public and most Democrats in control of the new Congress have given the administration pretty much a free hand in its other (current) war.
I mean, until the Big Boom while Big Time was visiting, Afganistan had almost dropped out of the US papers.
