In the September 28 issue of Time magazine, Joe Klein has an informative article about Afghanistan. The past US strategy put our troops in the wrong places. General McChrystal wants more troops so that he can put troops in the right places and keep the troops already there in the wrong places. We should be in Kandahar in strength because that is where the Taliban began and it is the home of both Mullah Omar and the Karzai brothers, one of whom runs the country, the other runs Kandahar in corrupt fashion. Afghanistan has just experienced five years of ineffective Karzai government and now we and they are expected to support the Karzais for five more years after a probably stolen election.
