The language in the Eikenberry cables is stronger than previously thought. Eikenberry is Ambassador to Afghanistan and was top American military commader there before McChrystal. His assessment of Karzai the Afghan leader is bleak, about expansion it only makes Karzai more dependent on the USA and makes extrication difficult from Afghanistan, he flatly disagrees with McChrystal's plans to add troops and widen the effort, and his views on the Afghan army's capabilities are bleak also.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
