I agree that they hate dogs. But they do not always treasure their children. I cannot tell you how many kids hung around us just for food, with no shoes, coats, dirty, sick. I realize that the country is in bad shape, but it amazed me that these kids could literally spend the whole day and do this for a week straight. If I was out of my mother's sight for more than 30 minutes and she didn't know where I was, she would come looking.
Some of these kids were just barely over 5. Sad indeed.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
