     |

            approved the use of C++ in GCC itself.  Of course, there's no reason for

            compiler for users, not a C++ code base for its own sake.

            Before we start to actually use C++, we need to determine a set of

     |

            coding standards that will apply to use of C++ within GCC.  At first, I

            compiler itself.  We can always use more of C++ later if it seems

            																			<p>KABUL — The man on the motorcycle was going the wrong way down a one-way street, gesturing indignantly for the phalanx of traffic-clogged cars in front of him to move.</p>

            <p>In Kabul, even a traffic jam can provoke a comment on this Islamic nation's dismal state, which most people here believe is at its bleakest since the U.S. invaded to topple the Taliban in 2001. It's a striking sentiment when you consider it comes after eight years of international intervention, $60 billion in foreign aid and the lives of thousands of foreign troops and Afghan civilians.</p>

Today that figure has swollen to well over 100,000 and will approach 140,000 with the latest troop commitments. There are also 100,000 Defense Department contractors supporting the military effort, according to U.S. lawmakers.</p>
