Winds of Change.NET reader Joe Manfre sends in this bit of good news:
"Overstock.com is the biggest private employer in Afghanistan now. People making good money making handmade rugs and crafts. Overstock.com also has an Afghan refugee managing the Worldstock division of the company."
I'd call that progress. Overstock.com were also tremendously helpful to Chief Wiggles' Toys for Iraq effort. They seem like a fine bunch of people, with a really neat concept.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
