The amount of crap that young people get in the media is amazing. From the age of 15 onward till about 20, reading the paper (the Press down here) was an exercise in being told how useless I was, how I didn't know anything, and how society would be a better place if me and my fellow young uns bumped ourselves off. I'm either used to it now, or am now part of that condemning culture that we have around young people here in NZ. I shall watch your show with interest Russell.

Re: Afghanistan, my 300 level political science class at uni could not come up with a reason to go other than to please America. As was noted, it will be a hard sell. When the most recent surge began, a journalist noted that the new forces were driving past the wreckage of the Russians. I'm not convinced that the result will be any different this time around.
