Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Meanwhile...

 Remember Afghanistan? Yeah, it's time to leave.

You can make a case that we owe Iraq more than Afghanistan, as we invaded and broke their country for very little reason. But Afghanistan was broken before we got there, and it WAS the place that harbored Al Qaeda. I think we've paid enough to try and bring order to a place that seems immune to it.
