Afghanistan? Whur's that?

The Bastige has some good thoughts on what's going on in Afghanistan.  I'm pretty confident that, in the long run, the U.S. action in Iraq will be remembered as a daring, impetuous jump-start to the next phase of history.

In Afghanistan, the short-run benefits are so great that even the most vocal WoT-defeatists try to keep it out of the conversation as much as possible.
