They said it
"If they [the Supreme Court] think that's the answer, then they're greatly mistaken. Then why don't we do away with the court system and go back to the Old West, you have a gun and I have a gun, and we'll settle it in the streets if that's they're thinking."
Chicago Mayor Mayor Richard Daley
Mayor Daley ewas speaking after the U.S. Supreme Court endorsed the right of U.S. citizens to own guns.

    Afghanistan Sun
    Bringing you the latest news from Afghanistan, the Afghanistan Sun tries to leave no stone unturned.

    Our news extends from Kabul, the capital, to all parts of the country. We cover the reconstruction, the continuing military operations, the trials and tribulation of the interim government, and the pathway to elections.

    We don’t dodge the controversies either, the impact of the Afghan warlords that retain power throughout much of the country, the continuing presence of Taliban elements, the aftermath of al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, eliminated in the military conflict of late 2001 and early 2002, and the resurgence of the opium growing and drug trade in Afghanistan.

    Whether it’s hard news or stories of general interest, the Afghanistan Sun has a mission to cover it all. The online newspaper also provides updates of what’s happening in the region, particularly in the surrounding Central Asian, and former Russian states, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

    World news, finance, sports and markets features, and we have a news poll where readers can register their views on regular topics.
