George Freaking Will argues that the United States should abandon a war that has had bipartisan support from Day One. Which reminded me of a strategic plan for victory in Afghanistan that I first conceived last fall:

"The Air Force should load George Will and David Brooks into a C-130 and airdrop them, sans parachute, on a Taliban position in Afghanistan. They're useless as intellectuals, but perhaps they'll do some good as ordnance."

This is a modest proposal, don't you think? Let's just hope it's not too little, too late.
