Obama Should End US Involvement In Afghanistan
Bob Herbert, The New York Times | January 5, 2009
Analysts and scholars warn that the problems that the US faces in Afghanistan - continued insurgencies, opium production, a US army demoralized and drained of resources given the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - will compromise the success of any new deployments in the region. ++ In the midst of the financial crisis and with firm evidence that the US commitment in Afghanistan contributes to the destabilization of nuclear Pakistan, President Obama should reconsider his ambitions to commit more troops in Afghanistan.
