  1. “The Ides of August”: With President Eisenhower’s warning in mind and reference to the realities of Korea, Viet Nam and Iraq, can a realist believe that the current Afghan condition was unintended?

      The idea that America could turn Afghanistan or Iraq into a liberal democratic state by force of arms is the problem.

Please keep it civil
