Will's Own Unicorn

It's rather fascinating, in an ignorance of history sort of way, to watch Republicans like George Will squirm their way out of blithely ignoring George Bush's handling of the war in Afghanistan. Americans went years without really referring to Afghanistan as a war. It was merely Afghanistan-- largely because Republicans turned our attention to greater spoils in Iraq.

Now that Bush is gone, it seems almost a feverish pitch by Republicans that Obama should decide in a nanosecond what do do next to expand that war. For Will,-- at least from this latest op-ed-- installing Karzai as the defacto ruler of Afghanistan impaired democracy not one bit. But now that election fraud caused almost exclusively by Bush's negligent if not criminal mishandling of Afghanistan, President Obama has turned a blind eyed toward democratic transgressions in the once blooming paradise of Bush's Afghanistan. Like I said, fascinating to watch.

Teaching Afghanistan to elect good men really isn't something Republicans should be lecturing anyone about. If there was ever a fantasy creature roaming in the desert it had one hell of an unfettered party for nearly 8 years.
