Haroon links to some goodness on Afghanistan. The Atlantic has an email from Afghanistan. Nick Kristof on building schools. The New Yorker on the individual cost of war for an Iraqi veteran. The New Yorker also had a moving photoessay on the cost of war. The photo below is from the series. It’s same photo Colin Powell mentioned in his Obama endorsement.

Being Poor
Being Poor
My country’ tis of thee, [Only if you are rich]
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; [liberty for CEO’s and celebrities]
land where my fathers died, [probably at the hand of a colored man or a foreigner]
land of the pilgrims’ pride, [and Native American genocide]
from every mountainside let freedom ring! [One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them]
