Curse of the Khyber Pass
by possibly noteworthy at 7:11 am EST, Mar 3, 2009

Milt Bearden:

Perhaps the failure of empires in Afghanistan is merely destiny.

As with all of the other problems the new administration faces, Afghanistan and Pakistan need new, even radical, rethinking if the United States is ever to reverse a failing enterprise. The only certainty about Afghanistan is that it will be Obama’s War, as surely as Iraq is Bush’s War and Vietnam was Lyndon Johnson’s War. The president’s new team for Afghanistan and Pakistan has been dealt a losing hand, but if anyone can turn the tables, they just might be able to do it.
