This Monday was the heaviest single-day loss of life since June 28, 2005, when 19 U.S. troops died. Afghanistan is known to be the world's largest producer of opium, the raw ingredient in heroin. The DEA, (Drug Enforcement Agency) has started operations there back in 2005 to keep things under control. However Monday they lost control when 14 Americans were killed by Talibans involved in drug-trafficing. We all hope to see a change in the next election coming up in the next two weeks. There hae already been problems between the U.N. and the Afghans on how to conduct the balloting. Lodin said the commission hopes to open all 23,960 polling stations from the first round. The U.N. wants to open only 16,000 stations to cut down on the number of "ghost polling stations" that never opened but were used to stuff ballot boxes. This election's outcome will likely foreshadow lots about the future of this conflict.
