Leanderthal,

You may have posted on this subject. I think the story is fairly new.

Some of the comments that follow the interview are very upsetting. The “Military Think” policy is like the guy walking through his house with a hammer. Every problem becomes an errant nail that deserves a good whack. No introspection involved. This horror that our country has blundered into is increasing our national delusion. Do we as a nation really think that we can “Fix” Afghanistan?
