[Bullfax.com - Market News & Analysis] Our Limited Control in Afghanistan | www.bullfax.com: This final paragraph from Andrew Exum’s brief Boston Review note about Afghanistan seems pretty baffling to me:The one lesson we have all””military officer, politician, and journalist alike””learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, though, is that it is best to avoid such conflicts in the first place. I, then, am one of many hoping that the Third Counterinsurgency Era will soon draw to a close.

3quarksdaily: And now I’m very glad to say that the London Review of Books, whose thirtieth anniversary we are commemorating, has over the years published myself and others on this subject, taking essentially a critical stance to this war because, as many of you will recall, it became fashionable all over the world, not just in the United States, to think of Iraq and Afghanistan as two very different wars. Which of course, on one level, they are.

[God and Whose Army? The Blog] We're the Villains « God and Whose Army? The Blog: One of the tragic ironies of the decision to invade Iraq is that the Iraqi WMD declaration required by security council resolution 1441, submitted by Iraq in December 2002, and summarily rejected by Bush and Blair as repackaged falsehoods, now stands as the most accurate compilation of data yet assembled regarding Iraq’s WMD programs (more so than even Duelfer’s ISG report, which contains much unsubstantiated speculation). Saddam Hussein has yet to be contradicted on a single point of substantive fact.

[The Big China Blog] A Message From The Double Standards Agency | The Big China Blog: However, another article published also mentions how “(China) blasted the United States for trampling on Iraq’s sovereignty, using its campaign against terrorism as an excuse to carry out torture and violate the rights of its citizens.”.
