In the note i posted in february ' Pull-Out' http://sidesee.blogspot.com/2009/02/pullout.html
I mentioned, president Barack Obama is bringing home its troops after 6 years American young men crossed
the border to topple down Saddam Hussein.
At today's news, titled ' The distance between" 'We must' and ' We can' " It was noted that United States
might send over 40,000 more troops as the commanding general there, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, has reportedly proposed.
Barack Obama also described the effort in Afghanistan as
"a war of necessity"
What intrigued me enough is this paragraph.
The idea that American foreign policy must be founded upon a prudent recognition of the country’s capacities and limits, rather than its hopes and wishes, gained currency after World War II, possibly the last unequivocally necessary war in American history. At the war’s end, of course, the global pre-eminence of the United States was beyond question. But Mr. Kennan, Mr. Niebuhr, Hans Morgenthau and others tried to imbue their sometimes-grandiose fellow-citizens with a rueful awareness of the intransigence of things.
In fact, at the end of the article turned out to be quite convincing stating how it means of a war
of necessity
it is over the land of dust,
and set the distinction, differentiated 'What we must' and 'What we can'
