Great line of the day

skdadl puts her finger on the problem with Obama's more-troops-for-Afghanistan pledge -- The unbearable inevitability of U.S. foreign policy:
Obama is more socially enlightened than the other guy. He is many other good things domestically more than the other guy. But in international affairs he will be sitting atop an unstoppable tragic juggernaut that is already controlling him more than he will ever control it. Well: they are unstoppable internationally until the rest of the world finds the sense and the courage to stop them.
