Shades of Black Hawk Down.

In all the furore surrounding the bombing of London's metropolitan area, scant notice has been given to a little-publicized incident in far-away Afghanistan.

A CH-47 Chinook was downed by what appeared to be an rocket-propelled grenade over the Kunar region.

Why is this episode so uncanny in its resemblance? Along with another Chinook, it was a Special Forces chopper flying in resuce SEALs ambushed by Taliban forces, and the choppers started taking heavy ground fire as they neared their embattled comrades.

Ring a bell?

The RPG nailed the chinook right in its fuselage, and as its sister Chinook watched in horror the chopper struggled to regain control before surrending to the call of death and plummeting like a stone, killing all 16 crew and SEALs on board.

Starting to sound familiar?

Despite a pair of Apaches and A-10 Warthogs flying air cover missions overhead, they could do nothing but watch the Chinook dash itself against the lip of a ravine, then roll over and fall into the valley to impale itself on the rocky mountains of Afghanistan.

Now that's just creepy.

Looks like Afghanistan may be turning into another Somalia after all. Warlords roaming the land as they please, an insurgency slowly but surely spiralling out of control, and whatnot. Too much focus on Iraq, and look what they get.

America, do yourself a favour and start devoting more effort to where it counts. Nobody wants two Iraqs on the world map, so don't start now.



On a lighter note, this song goes out to that special someone.


I know you've heard these words a hundred other times before
And you've been hurt and so your heart has chose to close the door
Love broke your heart and brought you lies
Look in my eyes, you'll see a love that's deep and true
Tender and strong and all for you
You can trust this love, honestly that's the honest truth.

Chorus:
From the heart, I'm giving you everything, everything
From the heart, I promise you that I'll be there
I'll be there to love you
From the soul, I'm showing you all I feel, all I feel is
From the heart, from the heart.

I will protect you and respect you and be all you need
and when you reach for love you'll only need to reach for me
These arms will never let you down
They're staying around, I'll walk with you through every storm
I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you warm
And you'll have no doubt, you're the one I'm living for

From the heart, I'm giving you everything, everything
From the heart, I promise you that I'll be there
I'll be there to love you
From the soul, I'm showing you all I feel, all I feel is
From the heart, from the heart.

Bridge:
I'll provide the love you need
Just trust my touch, believe in me
I'll never make you cry
Giving all i've got with all i've got inside.

From the heart, I'm giving you everything, everything
From the heart, I promise you that I'll be there
I'll be there to love you
From the soul, I'm showing you all I feel, all I feel is
From the heart, from the heart.
