...American troops into Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq remains noble--projecting democratic ideals--subsequent developments have proved the Washington strategists wrong. Once the immediate, specific objective has been achieved, it is time to get out, leaving it to Afghans and Iraqis to sort out their internal problems.

The seven evacuees had been bused to Harvard through the Phillips Brooks House Association, where they attended a reception with student leaders and University administrators before the concert. Kuumba President Michael L. Vinson ’07, who led the benefit effort, said that one woman bought dress...
