Apparently, back at the beginning of our long war in Afghanistan, we had a shot at peace. This makes sense, given the weak legitimacy of the Taliban. Through a combination of our own lack of strategic planning and the nature of blood feuds in Central Asia, we wound up squandering any chance at finding a peaceful solution in Afghanistan, perhaps even including leads on bin Laden.
The Bush Administration never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. He remains our worst two-term president.
