  BlueNC - The people's think tank — Authority: 563
  I dont often agree with Tom Friedman, but his analysis today of Americas involvement in Afghanistan is the best thinking Ive seen in years on the subject. Too bad he muddles the discussion with comments on Iraq, but thats a different subject. The U.S. military has given its assessment. It said that stabilizing ...
