Moths Really Don't Commit Suicide

This podcast was not the first that I have ever listened to however, I enjoyed this one much more than what I have been listening to lately. I have been enveloped in a particular talk show lately that is very doom and gloom oriented so this short little story of hope was a good teeter for my totter. It gave me a new perspective on the war effort in Afghanistan. The podcasts that I have been listening to would have either told me that the war is just another power grab or that it is part of an ongoing effort to protect our freedoms. After listening to this story I think that another reason that the United States is involved is to restore some dignity to people that have been oppressed for generations by allowing them to have an opportunity to act independently. I am a musician and therefore it is easy for me to imagine that I can relate to the restoration of art to a place where it has not been allowed for so long but I don't believe that someone needs to be an artist to appreciate the message of hope in this story.
