First U.S. Official Resigns Over Afghan War

[MikeF]

Steve,

You probably just nailed it.

I believe Hoh was looking for a way to make a difference in Afghanistan.

Ambassador Crocker (on Afghanistan) argued for "strategic patience."

Unfortunately, for many of us (myself included), decisive action to make a difference and strategic patience are mutually exclusive at times.

BTW, I'm sorting through Tolle's A New Earth. It's all about meta-physics and transcending ego so I'll probably ramble more about small wars, the human condition, and the illusion of control as I continue to contemplate my own theories
