Which reminds me, South Park has an excellent show this week focusing on the 
war.  It's a rare thing to find real satire on US TV these days.  Episode 
info from the series' web site:

"Filled with the American Spirit, the children of South Park Elementary have 
all sent their dollars to the children of Afghanistan. When the boys receive 
a package from the kids they sent the money to, personnel from every 
government agency descend upon the town to investigate. As a result, Stan, 
Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are forced to return an Afghani goat to its 
homeland."  (http://southparkstudios.com/)
