Does anyone seriously believe that the social benefits, macroeconomic included, that can be expected as a collective consequence of radically more remunerative paths taken will be as great or greater than would have followed from those, mentioned above, not taken? Isn’t the innovation that the country needs most for continued prosperity likely to come from scientists and engineers, not leaders of financial institutions...

If anything, he points out, a military surge should be used only after there is a government in place that is worth protecting. If Afghans are not committed to their government, if they don't believe...
