In the interest of sparking another weekend long 30 reply post, I present this Washington Post article by freelance writer Ann Marlowe who was embedded with the US forces twice in 2007.
To spoil the surprise,
The first is that Hamid Karzai is a good president who looks after American interests. The second is that the situation in Afghanistan is going from bad to worse. Both of these unchallenged “facts” are dangerous errors.
Read the whole thing for the authors full thoughts and reasoning. Is she right? I’m inclined to believe so, but I think Afghanistan could potentially be doing much much better, based on the many links and criticisms fellow blogger Josh has provided.
