The Wrong Question
At the end of a reasonable analysis of the situation in Afghanistan, Robert Kaplan asks the wrong question. It’s not a big surprise, as the question he does ask fits nicely into the post-Vietnam perception of American military action. It is, nonetheless, wrong:
To that end, significant numbers of American officers and civilian contractors will be embedded in Afghan government ministries for years to come, helping to run things. But does the home front have the stomach for it?
Ignoring the prejudicial phrasing used (”stomach for it”), the question that Kaplan should have asked was not “does the home front” but “should the home front.” Deciding that a multi-year military effort in a failed state far from home is not worth the cost in blood and lives is not an unreasonable one.
It would be nice if you disclose that this is a LIBERAL think tank. It does NOT offer diverse points of view.

“This is not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity. Those who attacked America on 9-11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans.” Pres. Obama 9/17/09

How dare you try to politically indoctrinate elementary school children. I hope every parent of every child in the propaganda video your people made sue you into oblivion!
You have no business pushing your politics on innocent children, and for that you should be arrested. This is not free speech, this is brainwashing. Push your agenda on adults who can make an informed decision!
You will NOT be allowed by the good people of this country to use your perceived victim status to conquer the hearts and minds of our children. The truth of what Obama represents will eventually come to light, and the worship of him by organizations such as yours will be seen for what it is: racism and subversiveness.
YOU LIE!!!
You must understand that if it weren’t for the war hawks and the brave military personnel, the good ole’ USA would either be speaking German, Japanese, Russian and or Arabic or a combination thereof and be a bad place to “live”. You people need to revisit the history of the world and pay attention this time. Your liberal agenda doesn’t fit here in the USA. Take it to Europe or even better France.
