Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has declared his intention to remedy "the weakness of [Afghan political] institutions, the unpunished abuse of power by corrupt officials and powerbrokers, a widespread sense of political disenfranchisement and a longstanding lack of economic opportunity."


Hell, we haven't been able to accomplish these goals in Chicago - where does he get off thinking he can "fix" an entire foreign country "with a couple of bullets and a few gallons of gasoline"?
