We can't solve Afghanistan's social or political problems by waging a cruel and apparently endless war. A senior British general just warned his troops might have to stay for another 40 years. (He later retracted).

A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
