Big Boom then a Big Voice


The President of Afghanistan is in the midst of peace talks with the Taliban.  This is a good thing.  After all the “Enemy” we want so much to disappear is basically the conservative wing of the Pashtun tribe.  You can’t kill your way out of this mess, but folks are trying.  My Turkish roommate and I were discussing the politics of being a refugee…..funny thing for a Greek and Turk…..when Boom!  The walls shook.  This one was big and close.  The Big Voice told us to stay put.  Ismael asked me what we should do?  Shelter in place I said and phone rally with your Turkish team like you were taught in training…….huh? he said with a glance.    Please continue on with your thoughts about the Syrian Border immigration problem I told him.
We found out the next day that bad people put a truck bomb outside an Afghan Army training center.  These folks are working hard to get one up on each other before peace breaks out.  Strange aint it?
