My Current Readings #13

Is war something worth doing? Will one get out of a war what they had wished to going into it? Well explained in an article in NYtimes.com titled "How a 'Good War' in Afghanistan Went Bad," written by David Rohde and David E. Sanger. After the Taliban fell to an American led coalition, groups of NATO ambassadors went to Kabul, Afghanistan and surveyed a 'triumph' - "a fresh start for a country ripped apart by years of war wit the Soviets and brutal repression by religious extremists," quoted from Correction Appended. It is now said that the Taliban were so decimated that they didn't even pose a threat anymore. This war seems to be involved with improvements of health care, education, economy, and the quality of life in the cities. Sometimes wars are started only to help those of another country or nation, while one warring place may thing they are doing good for the other they may just be adding more disruption to their home land. This is a perfect example of "How a 'good war' went bad."
