Afghanistanization

A Marine and Army veteran argue that President Obama's surge is making the difference:
Not since the deterioration in conditions in Iraq that drew our attention away from Afghanistan have coalition forces been in such a strong position to force the enemy to the negotiating table. We should hold fast and work for the day when Afghanistan, and our vital interests there, can be safeguarded primarily by Afghans.

Simon Bolivar, at the end of his life, said that to make revolution in Latin America was to try to "plough the sea". Maybe our efforts in Aghanistan will be more successful.
