Great article from Michael Scheuer

Yaniv has worked wonders to secure Michael Scheuer for next semester. Read this article, and you will agree, that we have a great speaker lined up.

Scheuer's article says how the war in Afghanistan has transformed from what it first was. Now, he says, more and more Afghans are fighting to get rid of the occupying forces. Now, it is a fight to free the nation from unwanted occupants.

A year ago, we were talking about withdrawing troops from the war in Afghanistan. Now, the US is requesting more troops in Afghanistan, and today, the UK sent 500 more troops. Gordon Brown is claiming that by sending more, we will help our allies and help build a 'safer Britain'.

The long and short of this article is that we have screwed up bigtime in Afghanistan, and that there will be worse to come because of it.
