Adventures in Nation Building: Afghanistan
Fierce fighting is underway in western Afghanistan and al Qaeda and the Taliban are nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, I am listening to an interview with Richard Lugar who is proposing a bill to"reform" and expand nation building efforts by turning them over to the State Department. Despite the nation building disasters in Haiti, Kosovo, and increasingly Iraq, Lugar, much like the liberal dead-end defenders of the Great Society, remains a true believer.
