So Obama cans McChrystal, and of course, we need a quick refresher on what our Afghanistan strategy actually is. And that goes kinda like this: we have to fight off the Taliban while training up the Afghan Security Forces, and we have to try to root out the corruption in Karzai's government; because the Afghan people can only be expected to fight for themselves if they have faith in their government.
Really?
Why does it seem that all the "conservatives" here in the US are going along with this? What am I missing here? Why do we have to have Free Market Solutions for everything here, but we have to have Government Solutions in other places?
Could it be that we just call it 'the government' in other places because it provides some convenient cover for the fact that several Mega-Corp companies are actually calling the shots?
And why aren't the know-nothing rubes outraged by all this very expensive nation building stuff? Couldn't we solve the whole problem over there just by building a couple of Wal-Marts or somethin'?
