From the Bronx to Afghanistan

Arianna Huffington seems to want to fight and die there, I wonder why. She says: As Newsweek's cover story on Biden makes clear, the vice president has long opposed escalating in Afghanistan. So if the president decides to escalate, Biden, for the good of the country, should escalate his willingness to act on his "deep reservations" and resign. Generations to come will be grateful if he does, instead of following the pattern of "opposition" we've become all-too-accustomed to. You know the drill: after the dust settles, the mea-culpa-laden books start to come out, and suddenly we hear how forceful this or that official was behind closed doors, arguing against the war, then going home each night distraught at the unnecessary loss of life. Well, how about making the mea culpa unnecessary? Instead of saving it for the book, Biden can unfetter his conscience when it can actually do some good for the country.

It seems pretty strange. Maybe Arianna wants to invade the Bronx, NY too.
