KABUL, Afghanistan Apr 15, 2005 — An Afghan toddler taken to the United States for surgery to fix a life-threatening heart ailment died Friday, two days after returning home to a muddy refugee camp from the trip arranged with the help of U.S. soldiers.

Army medical officers said 16-month-old Qudratullah Wardak's repaired heart had likely given out as his father tried to comfort him in the family's drafty tent near an American base outside the Afghan capital. The cause of death could not be determined because the Afghan tradition of burying the dead quickly made an autopsy impossible.

It is sad, but I don't see how this is America's fault. I don't think their living conditions were any better before we invaded. But this is political and if we want to argue, maybe we could argue about how much better their living conditions would be if we had spent more time rebuilding Afghanistan instead of invading Iraq....

I place the blame for this solely on the shoulder of 2Pac. I mean, why didn't he bring this to our attention before? Very irresponsible on his part.

So what did we invade Afghanistan for again?

Well, our reasons for invading were a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure they didn't include improving the standard of living for ailing Afghan toddlers.

Oh.
I could've swore that Bush said it's those kind of conditions that enabled terrorism to thrive.
What was our reason though, seriously.
