I recommend Max Hastings' comments in the Financial Times today (Sept. 23). He observes that "[m]any of those who know most about Afghanistan on both sides of the Atlantic are doubtful that success of the allied cause is attainable."

These countries are in the immediate vicinity and have a large interest in avoiding an Afghanistan controlled by Muslim extremists. The US is the wrong country to be attempting this huge task.
