But the essential humanity at the heart of the counterinsurgency strategy - the idea that we succeed if we work at helping people - makes it worth trying. As the man said, this is about humility.

The roughly 40,800 people who showed up on Sept. 27 comprised one of the smallest crowds ever to watch a football game there - and reportedly one of the thinnest to attend a Lions home game in 20 years. The game wasn't even televised here: the NFL blocks local television...
