The Afghan's allergy to foreign presence and the argument for more troops on the ground.
10/22/2009
Optimistic assessments about the results more American boots on the ground would bring leave gaps that are not addressed, about the Afghan government, the allergy to foreign occupiers, and the likely misassessment of the numbers needed. Here Boot says 174,000 American troops were needed in Iraq and he also says Afghanistan is amuch bigger country. Can American add troops to reach anumber closer to 174,000 in Afghanistan and what would the public response be? And there is no majority Shiite side in Afghanistan to stand behind the Americans as there was in Iraq, because democracy benefitted the Shiites under Ayatollah Sistani- what then would be the support for Americans among the 40 million Pashtuns ?

The U.S. Federal Reserve's Large Institution Supervision Coordination Committee
10/21/2009
Fed chairman Bernanke and Governor Tarullo set up the LISCC in 2010 to provide expert supervision at Fed headquarters that reports to them. Before this supervision was left to the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Now the Fed can draw on the 42 PhD's and other experts in its ranks to review individual bank's financial position for systemic risk in adverse scenarios and flag these risks. This is critical to effective supervision of large banks.

The Economist magazine and its readers views about the deepening conflict in Afghanistan.
10/15/2009
An overwhelming majority of comments, 90% of 64 comments on the editorial on the October 15 issue on Obama's War, (as of Oct 26, 2009) had serious doubts, serious questions or outright opposition to the expansion of the conflict. The issue was about how this comes out in one, two or three years or four years not about precipitate withdrawal. A bad policy choice now would determine policy choices later.

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.
