Economist Original article ›

Keywords:


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.
