The war in Afghanistan demonstrated American leadership that knows a lot about destroying things but very little about creating things, a lot about brute force but very little about soul force - all of which makes us a danger to the world. We must change our paradigm & #WagePeace

In the battle of two opposing gods ppl always lose.

All of our attempts at "nation-building" result in burned-out husks. If the mission really IS nation-building, bring in Mennonites and Quakers instead of troops.

What the hell does “waging peace” mean beyond being an empty platitude? How about we just end wars?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Not gonna happen through platitudes!

Have you read @scotthortonshow’s book Enough Already? It’s excellent. In 200 pages you’ll know more about the war on terror than most pundits.

Enough with the virtue signaling. Care to comment on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and specifically panjshir?

Golly, you’re so observant.
