Journalist Jerome Starkey visits a town in the heart of Afghanistan's most violent province that locals call Little America. Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand Province, was built out of the sand with American aid money in the 1950s. The bits that survived more than half a century of violence feel like a time warp to the past.

  • Perhaps if the US and UK stopped paying the "rebels" there wouldn't be such a problem. Progress? What progress? how many wars must we fight? How many must die before we see this progress?

  • The man in the market talking about the next fifty years seems right. And now, just 20 miles away in Marjah, the US, Britain, and Afghan puppet troops led by Canadian "advisors", everything is about to get much worse.

    US Brig Gen Nicholson led the assault on Fallujah and is leading this.
