Situation in Afghanistan...

Something that i have been watching quite carefully on the news these days has been the current situation with the korean missionary volunteers in Afghanistan. These volunteers were captured by the terrorists in Afghanistan who are believed to be a part of the Taliban. 2 of the volunteers have already been killed and there are still more than 20 innocent people held under hostage. All this talk about the war and the draft got me thinking and i realized that wars really are a major problem. South Korea has decided that if the terrorists kill any more hostages, they will go ahead and declare war and send troops to fight the terrorists. What started as a journey for missionaries to help out in Afghanistan has led to a complicated battle where another war may begin. There are going to be so many casualties if another war starts and this is only going to cause mayhem. All in all, i honestly am kind of frustrated at those volunteers who decided to go to Afghanistan even though the Korean government told them over and over that they should not go at a time like this. I respect the fact that these people wanted to help out in Afghanistan but now bigger problems have risen because of them and a war is about to be started because of their ignorance to the government.

Wow. That's terrible, man. The middle east region is really starting to piss me off.
