Michael O'Hanlon and Bruce Riedel
insisted
in an op-ed last week that the United States
must stay in Afghanistan "until the job is
done." While they are wise to warn against
making rash decisions based on the particularly
tragic
events of the last few weeks, they never
convincingly explain when the job should end
and how we can expect to accomplish it in the
next few years if we - to borrow a phrase from
the last war - stay the course. The mission and
objectives O'Hanlon and Riedel envision are of
the never-ending variety: creating a viable,
stable nation where none has previously
existed. They also ignore their former, wiser
caution on the future of the war.
