We Learned Nothing From 9/11
They say everything changed on 9/11. No one can dispute that. But we didn't learn anything.

Economics of War and Fearnew
In a war economy much of what gets built gets blown up, destroyed, or wasted, as it were, on the unquestionable goal of winning.

Afghanistan War Promises Victory So Glorious We Never Shall Winnew
The old joke says that since 2003, U.S. soldiers have been between Iraq and a hard place. With a sanctioned Iraqi withdrawal underway at last, our troops are now in the hard place. It's no joke.

Why Are We Still in Afghanistan?new
In 2008, a clear majority of American voters hung their chads for Barack Obama, who explicitly promised to escalate the U.S. war in Afghanistan. So the question is, what the heck are we still doing there?

Conservatives Need to Leave Afghanistan & the Neocons Behindnew
Now is the time to make the case that American soldiers shouldn't be the world's policeman, liberal utopianism is not sound foreign policy, and nation-building is not conservative. George Will has and serious conservatives should follow suit.

Outside observers are afraid Pakistan's super-violent, fundamentalist Taliban fighters might be able to get their hands on one of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Is it possible?

Update: What Is the U.S. Mission in Afghanistan?new
I'm nostalgic for focused anger and healthy skepticism directed at the White House. I'm concerned that some of President Obama's Bush-like policy initiatives are getting a free pass from the press and public simply because Obama isn't Bush.

What Is the U.S. Mission in Afghanistan?new
The big stimulus bill isn't the only economic lifeline being tossed out by Team Obama. The Feds are also offering a generous subsidy to foreign policy columnists. The Obama administration's war strategy in Afghanistan is so unclear, newspapers have no choice but to keep paying people like me to help explain it.

No Clear Path to Peace for Obama Administrationnew
We are anxious because now it appears Obama, like LBJ, wants it both ways and isn't really as much about getting us out of any of our recent military quagmires as he is about negotiating settlements in which we stay.

If the U.S. Collapses ... Will Anyone Miss Us?
When I was 21, I prayed for the collapse of the U.S., the biggest force for evil in the world. Now that we're on the brink of economic apocalypse, this middle-aged white guy is scared.

Obama's Idea of Swapping One Quagmire for Another is Hardly a Brilliant Foreign Policynew
If Barack Obama's idea of ending the occupation in Iraq is to transfer most of the troops to Afghanistan, he won't have accomplished much. He's right that we should not be in Iraq, but we also shouldn't be in Afghanistan.
