Foster ’11, who watched at the SOCH, said, “I think the war question is always really interesting. John McCain is always portrayed as a warmonger, so I’m curious about how well he will respond.” In addition to addressing...

More investment in agriculture, energy, roads, education, and health—in conjunction with forces deployed to uphold and enforce these developments on a community level—will do more to build the Afghani government and foster morale than bombs ever could.
