Transitionland had a thoughtful response to my cri de coeur on Afghanistan yesterday. Among her recommendations for improving things:(1) Stop the air strikes that are killing civilians,
(2) Crack down on corrupt contractors to USAID,
(3) Stop supporting Afghan warlords who are homicidal and/or corrupt.So, after years of experimentation, we can now start applying these subtle, complex lessons:
(1) Don’t kill,
(2) Don’t steal,
(3) Don’t give aid to those who do.
