Here I was, all set to write a follow-up to my last post about Operation Moshtarak, only to discover that Michael Cohen at Democracy Arsenal has already written exactly what I wanted to say.  He touches all the bases - the inadequacy of the ANSF, the lack of understand of how governance works (hint: it doesn't come in a box), and the continued corruption by Hamid Karzai.  Seriously, just go read it.  It's good.
