Obama's Afghanistan Vietnam escalating the war is major mistake

Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel discusses the Obama administration's hopeful first steps and the potential stumbling block posed by Afghanistan. At a forum called "Obama at 100: A Progress Report from The Nation" held on April 21, 2009 in Washington DC, Katrina vanden Heuvel discussed the refreshing rhetorical change the Obama presidency had brought to American foreign policy. However, quoting the president, vanden Heuvel pointed out that "the greatest test is 'not only words, but also deeds'" and, in his conduct of the war in Afghanistan, she feared Obama may not be passing the test. "I do see parallels with Vietnam," vanden Heuvel warned. "If we are interested in seeing a successful Obama presidency...
we as allies do a service to the nation and this administration by speaking out and offering smart alternatives" such as an Congressional hearings, an exit strategy and visibility to anti-war efforts.

Quote of the Moment:

‎"One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through the great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
