Hypnotizing Chickens: Your Afghanistan Reading For the Week

Here is what I’ve been reading:

Keeping our Promises -- the report from CASC on the way forward for Canada after 2011

Ending the Agony -- CIGI paper by Chris Alexander

How to end the War in Afghanistan -- NYRB essay by David Miliband

The Taliban Insurgency in Afghanistan -- from the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (I’m halfway through, but so far this is *really* interesting).

This book, from Steven Tanner

Finally, my column on the reaction some of our Afghan comrades are having to our lack of national debate on where we’re going after 2011 is up.
