Eloquent. On Point.

Can you stop over at that conference in London? I don't think the message has gotten across.

Whether Arizona, Massachusetts, Iraq or Afghanistan, you have to take the facts on the ground that the problem definition and, however-broken-butchered-and-illogical-to-outsiders the local solutions seem to be, the only effective answers will come from them.

The answers cannot come from the military or US/Int'l civilians.
