Today, 8 more US Soldiers died in Afghanistan today via bomb attacks, making it the deadliest month for US forces in the entire 8 year period in that country.

This certainly will continue to raise the obvious question of "Why are we still over there?" Brave troops continuing to being put in harms way, and the growing chorus of President Obama needing to make the right decision here of withdrawing will continue to get louder and louder.

When will that rational and necessary decision be made?

The war trials continue for Radovan Karadzic at the Hague. The former Bosnian Serb leader is, for those who don't know, facing charges of 11 counts of genocide, war crimes, and crimes in general to humanity. He was certainly a sick piece of work and then some.

In Morocco, protest against the Ramandan fast has led to some serious tension in that nation.

Interesting stuff in Chile about their military courts possibly getting limited.

And in Malawi, a bishop is rationally worried about the low usage of condoms in his country thanks to HIV/AIDS always a threat to peace.
