Unless you’ve… no, even if you have been living under a rock you’ve heard of the horrible case of Trayvon Martin’s death at the hands of George Zimmerman in Florida. This shocking case has gotten everyone from politicians, celebrities, talking heads, and yes, even my grandparents to weigh in on what happened that night. There …
Ahmed Wali Karzai was not a nice guy. Known as one of the big leaders in the Afgani opium trade, he obviously had some enemies.
