Joe Klein really can't resist the urge to play foreign-policy maven, can he? Last we heard from him, he was warning us that the surge in Iraq was doomed--DOOMED! That wasn't quite the case, as you might recall.
Now he's telling us that the war in Afghanistan is doomed--DOOMED!--and we should get out as soon as possible. Funny; that's the exact same advice he gave us regarding Iraq.
I'm not saying Afghanistan is perfect. Far, far from it. But for Klein to criticize it as "aimless" raises the question: what does Klein want us to do, anyway? In this article he makes some Friedmanesque noises about Pakistan. But what are we going to do with Pakistan? Invade it? Threaten it? Klein, of course, is above such petty details.
