The left has been pretending to support the war in Afghanistan ever since we went into Iraq, as a cudgel against the Bush administration. Obama himself played that game. Well, now that he’s got the keys to the White House, and the actual responsibility for foreign policy, what will he (and they) do?

The brutal Afghan winter could not be reached for comment.
Invading Afghanistan was a good idea, and some Taliban were rooted out at the time. But it is turning into a morass, not unlike Vietnam, due to the situation in neighbouring countries. Afghanistan borders Pakistan, Iran and China. They just flee across the border to rest and then come back again strengthened. Maybe the new Pakistani leadership will prove more cooperative, but I am not holding my breath for that.
