Another tragic day for U.S. troops in Afghanistan: Six American soldiers were killed Wednesday in three separate attacks, bringing the total number of deaths in August up to 32. Meanwhile, six election workers were killed in attacks in the countryside on the day before Afghanistan votes on whether or not to give President Hamid Karzai a second term. Last month, 44 U.S. troops died in Afghanistan, the deadliest month so far in the eight-year war.
