Afghanistan

I guess I should state my opinion on Obama's address on Afghanistan, which I watched and listened to last night. On style, Obama, as always was impeccable. He gets 9.9 on style. On substance, I think he doesn't score as well. 

There's no doubt that he is left with not much of a hand to play. But it's hard to believe that what is going to come out of increased militarism on our side is going to be, in the long run, more peace. Remember, for example, that we had our guy in Iran, the Shah, for how long? Look how that turned out. 

I will write more on this later.
