Hi there Prof. Polya. It seems that Johns Hopkins don't agree with you about excess deaths of Afghan children:

'KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Improvements in women's access to medical care since the Taliban fell five years ago have led to a marked decrease in Afghanistan's infant mortality rates, with 40,000 fewer infant deaths a year, according to a new study.' 
 
Any thoughts on these figures?
