Obama’s Speech on Afghanistan to Envision Exit
No matter what strategy he chooses, he'll be wrong. Not his fault - there is no good option. I reject the thought of rebuilding Afghanistan (we have had enough trouble rebuilding New Orleans) and trying to institute a decent government for the whole country unless the major nations of the world truly cooperate and share the burden.
I tend to favor a troop increase and somehow to establish a regional base there that will help us prevent the threat of a terrorist base and the disruption of Pakistan. If, in the meantime, the Afghan government, army, and police force show effective improvement, we should support that.
"Swiss Ban Building of Minarets on Mosques"
Swiss: Go back to making watches. What if Germans voted to ban the Star of David, or synagogues?
