For the first time in history, I actually agree with Byron York. Almost. I think he’s completely uncharitable to neglect to mention the deterioration of Karzai’s government as a possible reason for some Democrats to now reject what they once supported in additional troops. I know that I make a critical distinction between doing nation building in a place where we are welcomed and the government has credibility, and doing it where we are propping up a corrupt and unpopular government. Karzai has moved from the former category into the latter over the last few years, and that is enough of a change to make me change my thinking on the wisdom of being in Afghanistan. Others’ mileage may vary, but I’m really, really skeptical leading into tonight’s speech.
