...following the 7.0 earthquake that has devastated Haiti, Harvard students, in cooperation with the Office of the President, Harvard College Dean’s Office, and the Office of Fine Arts, established Harvard for Haiti, an organization which has raised just over 23,000 dollars so far. Although efforts like Harvard for Haiti are absolutely a step in the right direction, Harvard, and especially its students, can offer something more valuable to the international community than fundraising...
...that strike without warning, or long-standing issues that afflict scores of people around the world.

One is the creation of a legitimate, reliable government in Kabul: since Karzai's contentious election late last year, Afghanistan's President has shown little inclination to ditch his corrupt cronies. Nor is there yet an Afghan security force capable of taking over from the Americans. Although U.S. commanders carefully talk up the contributions of the 4,500 Afghan National Army soldiers (two had been killed) and police in the Marjah operation, it's no secret that the U.S. Marines and British troops are doing the heavy lifting. McChrystal's target of a 134,000-man Afghan...
