Making the world safer, one bomb at a time.

When I read articles about the current state of Afghanistan, like this one or this one or this one — all articles that make clear that much of Afghanistan is a hellish mess, that the Taliban is by no means a distant memory, that the lives of women there are not that much better — it makes me wonder how anyone can maintain that our current Administration is doing anything remotely resembling a bang-up job in fighting the War on Terror.

Personally, I’d like to use a measuring stick that doesn’t indicate success in terms of “Stuff Blown Up” (and I am in no way a person who believes that this war can be won without blowing anything up).
