Our Man In Kabul

I don't know what the hell we're doing in Afghanistan and therefore have no opinion on how nice we should be to Karzai, but it's touching to see that after all these years the favored discourse of foreign policy writers hasn't changed. Fareed Zakaria:

The Obama administration needs to grow up, recognize that in the real world Karzai is the best partner it has and roll out the red carpet for him when he finally gets to the White House on May 12.

People who disagree with the Very Serious People are unserious, infantile, need to grow up, etc.
