The Afghan War has been going on so long...

* It started when we only saw TV in 480i
* I'm pretty sure I had just gotten broadband -- I'll have to go to my porn archives to denote the point this occurred (and also marked the point I just stopped giving a shit shortly thereafter).
* "Atrios" was still an occasional commenter on Salon's Table-Talk
* Markos Moulitsas was not Orange, not Satan, and had no secret island lair.
* People thought Mel Gibson was a likable actor.
* People assumed that Glenn Reynolds was in touch in reality
* Not only did Facebook not exist, not even Friendster existed.
* People still bought VCRs.
* Twitter was what people may have referred to as the location of Twits...so TMZ headquarters (which also did not yet exist).

Mission Accomplished and "Bring 'em On" were still two years away...

When the war began, Windows Vista was still four years away from crippling your computer experience.

*Windows XP was still Microsoft's brand-new operating system.

*Firefox didn't exist yet.

*"Friends" was still the highest-rated show on TV.

I'm confident that our grandchildren won't be fighting these wars, because they'll be completely occupied with hunting and gathering....

...why do you think that will happen, Montag? Are you planning on moving to outer Mongolia, to live in some hidden cave system?

Regardless of our political differences, wishing you and your grandchildren all the best with ur new lifestyle choice.
