Indications that, under the right conditions, properly applied principles of counterinsurgency can produce good results in Afghanistan

Plenty of caveats, but this is how it's supposed to work, and it's a sign that it *can* work. But it will take time, troops, and skill to spread this pattern further, and it's not yet clear if America is prepared to devote those resources.

Well, that's Thursday night and the 2009 season (league and champions league) done. More time to spend on premier league across the pond.

Speaking of which, I'm still trying to decide: Hibs or Hearts? The Old Firm = not my cup of tea. Got friends and acquaintances in both camps (in fact, my Hibs-loving friend sent me a Jambos strip--how should I take that? ;-)

Meantime, DCU needs (a) a new coach, (b) to part ways with a few older players, (c) a serious approach to getting a new ground.

That is all. Good night.
