Afghanistan

So today, we get this:

KABUL, Afghanistan — In one of his sternest warnings yet concerning civilian casualties, President

Hamid Karaki said Tuesday that NATO must stop air attacks on Afghan homes immediately, or face “unilateral action” from the Afghan government.

Speaking at a news conference at the presidential palace in Kabul, Mr. Karzai declined to say what actions the government would or could take, saying only that Afghanistan “has a lot of ways of stopping it.”

Story here. It's actually relatively balanced.

I realize that supporting our continued presence in Afghanistan isn't the most popular position, but it's clear that NATO and the U.S. are bending over backwards to actually deal with the situation there - and much more realistically than Karazi appears to be.

But sooner or later, Americans are going to say, Why bother? If they want to continue living in a hell hole, so be it.
