Recommended: This Time We Really Mean It

I recommend Thomas Friedman's March 31 Op Ed article in The New York Times, entitled This Time We really Mean It. President Obama didn't have any good options in Afghanistan when he last decided our policy there, but one wonders if in fact we ought not to just cut our losses (declare victory and withdraw) and write off Afghanistan. Re my last post, this may well be a nation we simply can't "save" (whatever "save" means to us in this case), whatever we do and however much money we spend and however many troops we send.
