It seems strange that he's now decrying efforts to strengthen security at the borders in places like Georgia. Building a modern physical plant gives the U.S. much more leverage to insit that U.S. officials be allowed to observe and train the locals. As for 'uniformed agents of local governments'--you start with what's there, and try to improve their quality over time. I agree with your assesment of the article...it's good, but flawed. I think the best piece he did was on the last flight of the Shuttle Columbia. I do have a question, though--what will all of these writers do in two years when Bush is out of office? They'll have lost their 'theory of everything'... One of Mr. Langweische’s sharpest criticisms of the Iraq war is the poorly planned nation-building and law-and-order actions in post-Saddam Iraq.
