To the Editor:
In Afghanistan, president Obama must always ask: "[is] root[ing]
out corruption, at the risk of further alienating Mr. Karzai, really
worth it?" Anyone who remembers America's foreign policy follies of
the 20th century must answer that it is. Any day that the U.S. is
seen to be tolerating and supporting a corrupt regime is a day on
which we earn more enemies than we can kill or co-opt. That's a game
that we can never win. It's not worth another cent or another life.
