How did we get into a full on war with the Taliban and thus in the middle of an Afghan Civil War in which neither side likes us much?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tAinsi la critique de Clemons tourne-t-elle effectivement autour de cet axe central: pourquoi les USA font-ils la guerre? En quoi cette guerre les concerne-t-elle? Surtout, il met en \u00e9vidence le principal effet indirect absolument catastrophique, de cette guerre, qui est l’exposition de l’impuissance US, des limites dramatiques de cette puissance. C’est le point central.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abOne really can’t tell what our overall goal is at this point and the calls by some, like Brian Vogt at Across the Aisle, that we not do Afghanistan on the cheap make little sense when we ought not to be neck deep in problems of this sort without knowing why we are there and what constitutes failure and success.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAfghanistan, like Iraq, is sending the impression to the rest of the world that America is at a limit point in its military and power capabilities. This prompts allies not to count on us as much as they did previously and prompts foes to move their agendas.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbLimits are very, very, very bad in the great power game and Afghanistan is yet again, an exposer of monumental limits on American power.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
