...difficult as it may seem to do this. There are ways to break out the age homogeneity of our circles, and we should make use of them. Tutors, House Masters, teaching fellows, professors, HUDS staff, the little kids running around the dining halls there are many people within our community at stages of life very different from undergraduates.

For one thing, he has begun denouncing the Western powers in his country because he knows he can - Karzai would have been cut adrift some time ago if there were any other viable alternative on whom the U.S. could pin its strategy. The wily President knows that the presence of foreign forces in his country is deeply unpopular, particularly when civilians are killed in the course of NATO military operations. Karzai, moreover, is humiliated and shown to be powerless when his protestations over such operations...
