When I think of war I think of the book War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. The book is depicting the war of 1812 in Russia. It's a book called War and Peace without the peace part. The war of 1812 like ALL wars was brutal and with a horrendous amount of causalities. It's not so much about the war it's self but the leading up to the war, and how people deal with the war. I believe that war is destructive, it pulls families apart, and puts people up against each other who wouldn't be against each other normally.

What I read was an article about NATO giving the green light for fighting Afghan drag trade.  Over the  years the Afghan opium production has become a increasing, 25 of the major  allies banded together and all agreed on what they should do. I think this will effect us in a very small way, but I think in the long run it will be very helpful cutting down on both drug production and terrorism. NATO says that only drug producers that are giving as much as $80 million annually to the Taliban will targeted by the military. From the Star Tribune by News Services
