Dumb And Dumber

So, the metaphorical sons and daughters of those organizational whizzes who added snafu to the vernacular are now looking for other ways to relieve unsustainable pressure on an army Stephen Harper committed to Afghanistan until 2009. What's considerably less certain is our ability to suss out ideas that seem smart but are foolish. One is the concept that frames the U.S. mission in Iraq and Canada's in Afghanistan. At their parallel and perilous cores is the persuasive notion that fighting terrorists over there is better than over here. Embedded in that proposition are even more problematic assumptions. In the time left over from fighting insurgents, we will fabricate a model modern state out of a loose and antagonistic association of clans, warlords and opium smugglers. On the titanium strength of self-evident merits, democracy, market economy and the rule of law will triumph over kleptocracy, corruption and frontier justice. Given enough time, money and security, that might just be the result. http://tinyurl.com/y9btsz
