Build Schools in Afghanistan

With the current discussion on what to do with the request for more troops to fight the war in Afghanistan, here's an idea: Let's turn the swords into school books and school yards and school rooms and teachers.  Read Nick Kristof's article here for pretty convincing proof that more schools in that country are being built and used by the Afghani people.  I bet the soldiers would rather do all that as well.  (Btw, have I said War is Stupid recently?)

sounds like a good idea but the time is not yet right
