From its intervention to destroy a progressive popular movement in
Afghanistan in the 1970's, to its supporting the Taliban, warlords,
Osama bin Laden and al Qaida, to its current occupation of Afghanistan
aimed at suppressing some of the forces it helped create, the United
States government seems eager to wantonly dispose of the lives of its
children, their future wealth, and any good will it might have left in
the world.

Yet there are sensible ways to extract ourselves from this ugly
morass.

book of 2008.
