Global Warming Dries Up Quagmires

Trying out theories that might be appealing to some. We report. You decide.

From a Yahoo! AP article, Afghanistan Emerges From Horrors of War:

By DAVID GUTTENFELDER, Associated Press Writer [/] KABUL, Afghanistan - After a generation of conflict, Afghans are slowly emerging from darkness. In the afterglow of last fall's presidential election, there is hope in Kabul.

Violence in the capital is now rare. Record numbers of children, including girls, are returning to rebuilt schools. U.S. trainers are forging a multiethnic Afghan army. Aid money is flowing in, and relief groups are helping put the health service and other institutions back on their feet.

Millions of refugees have returned after long years of exile in Pakistan or Iran (news - web sites). Some are confident enough of the country's stability to sink their savings into roomy new villas, fueling a breakneck construction boom.

Still lots of problems according to the story, but the lead is that “there is hope in Kabul”.

Praise the Lord!

And He might just be using Global Warming to do it. Who can tell?
