A Pivotal Moment?

Andrew Bacevich thinks that we are at such a moment. How Obama, the Nobel Peace Price Laureate, comes down on our role in Afghanistan will determine whether change will, in fact, become reality in 21st century America. If Obama buys McChrystal's argument re the need for more troops, he will be agreeing that we are essentially a war machine. We wage a war on terror. We use the military to get our way, no matter the effect of the world. In other words, Bush was right.
