"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." ~ H.L. Mencken
Afghanistan's Challenges Show the Limits of U.S. Military Power
Submitted by Don Stacy on Tue, 2013-02-12 01:00
"Foreign policy elites on both sides of the aisle continually advocate America’s leadership role for the sake of spreading democracy. In doing so, they inflate their foresight and ignore the uncomfortable fact that despite the best efforts, America’s military and civilian establishments have faced enormous difficulty repairing fragile states emerging from civil conflict. Bipartisan conventional wisdom has created a system that fails to appreciate the limits of America’s power, as demonstrated in Afghanistan."
