A Dilemma in Afghanistan

 Hamid Karzai, made President of Afghanistan in a rigged election, has barred elite U.S. forces from Maidan Wardak, claiming that they tortured and killed villagers. That leaves us with a difficult decision. If Karzai's charges are true, then American forces should be withdrawn immediately and brought home. Torturers cannot win the hearts and minds of the people. But what if Karzai's charges are false? In that case, we would be insane to put our military at risk to prop up an outrageous liar. Our only course would be to withdraw our forces immediately and bring them home. There you have our dilemma: what to do?
