Actually if you want to be thorough, I believe that only a succession of maps showing the evolution of the danger zones in A'stan, and put into proper chronological context would bring a valid argument. As it is, this map only provides a snapshot, and would do little to convince anyone who opposes the war that the situation has gotten better, militarily speaking. I shall keep a copy though; this way, if another one pops up in a number of months, we shall have a basis for comparison.

Actually, I've looked on the UN website (what a mess) hoping to find older maps but alas couldn't locate any. Does anyone know if this map is the first one published by the UN showing the danger zones of A'stan? If you know of any other, could you please provide a link and/or picture?

hmmmm. All of the high-extreme risk areas seem to be bordering Pakistan -- our ally in the War on Terror. I won't highjack the thread, all I'll say is it's frustrating to look at that map.
