one of the joys of driving in Afghanistan, basic security awareness
Stop! if you find
the road ahead empty,
no traffic signals danger,
empty roads mean death,
maybe yours?
Stop! turn around
head for home and safety? |

We have no place in either Afghanistan or Iraq. |

Written by Fledermaus (3492 comments posted) 26th October 2007 | | I heard that in Iraq more people die of traffic accidents than of the violence. Yet in Afghanistan that might be different. Smart piece. |
