World, national and local news... Not pretty. Do you feel safe?

1. Today we celebrate the 8th anniversary of the “War in Afghanistan”.
”The War in Afghanistan, which began on October 7, 2001 as the U.S. military's Operation Enduring Freedom and the British military's Operation Herrick, was launched in response to the September 11 attacks.
The stated aim of the invasion was to find Osama bin Laden and other high-ranking Al-Qaeda members and put them on trial, to destroy the whole organization of Al-Qaeda, and to remove the Taliban regime which supported and gave safe harbor to Al-Qaeda. The United States's Bush Doctrine stated that, as policy, it would not distinguish between terrorist organisations and nations or governments that harbor them.”
