Obama, Afghanistan and the Conceit of American Power?

Obama, Afghanistan and the Conceit of American Power? August 5, 2009

Just what is the United States under President Obama doing in Afghanistan? And what can history teach us about our these efforts?

Andrew J. Bacevich has a critical essay in the new issue of Commonweal on the current American involvement there, its rationale and its perils. I recommend everyone’s reading it.
