Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Time To Go


War is hell. In every war that ever was, war crimes are committed by both sides. One of our four-tour soldiers in Afghanistan snapped and murdered a bunch of civilians, many of them children. Yes, the poor bastard went off his rocker, but this is an unconscionable horror.

Let's use it as a motivator to quickly get the hell out of Afghanistan. It's as good a reason as any for us to vamoose. We have no compelling reason to stay. Stabilization? Democratization? Bullshit! The next time those things happen in Afghanistan will be the first.

(Check the archives for Buster's Afghanistan: Same Old Shit, Different Day of 7/29/10. Not much has changed.)
