blogdriverwaltz (what a great name for a Blog -- well, if you know Canadian music at all) makes clear what we’ve suspected all along. The Bush Administration is great at blowing apart a country and destroying a government, but they’re just not good at creating a new, stable government to replace it.
Al Quada or whatever comes after it will breed in the seething mass of disappointment, horror and poverty left in Afganistan. Someday, we’ll pay another price for it, and then the hours of exhaustive, overly dramatic and exploitive news coverage will point to how this administration took out the Taliban, but left the job undone because they left the government to collapse into corruption and the people to starve.
Next year at this time, this story will be repeated in Iraq. Unless Halliburton completely takes it over, of course.
I’m so ashamed.
