Although the European editions of Time are metric, the articles about the
war in Afghanistan are in ifp-only.
I think converting to metric takes too much time.

I apologize for reopening this theadbare subject, but the November 19
Canadian edition of Time stated that the big bomb can kill everything
within a radius of 1/2 mile.  A circle of radius 1/2 mile equals an area of
0.25 pi = 0.79 square miles.
