“More and more questions are being raised as to what is going on in Afghanistan. First and foremost, what is the acceptable price for losses among civilians in the ongoing anti-terrorist operation? Who decides on criteria for determining the proportionality of the use of force?
These and other factors give reasons to believe that the anti-terrorism coalition is in the face of crisis. Looking at the core of the problem, it seems that this coalition lacks collective arrangements - ie equality among all its members in decision-making on the strategy and, especially, operational tactics. It so happens that in order to control a totally new situation as it evolved after 9/11, instead of the required genuine cooperative effort, including a joint analysis and coordination of practical steps, the mechanisms designed for a unipolar world started to be used, where all decisions were to be taken in a single center while the rest were merely to follow. The solidarity of the international community fostered on the wave of struggle against terrorism turned out to be somehow "privatized"."

Their release is critical for bringing an end to the administration’s torture policies and for deterring further prisoner abuse.”
-- Amrit Singh, ACLU staff attorney, after a federal appeals court ordered the Bush administration to hand over photos depicting abuse of prisoners held by the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan

First whether America will face this next rough patch without losing heart. Afghanistan cannot succeed as a democracy, nor as a new state defying centuries of tradition. To remake societies is beyond the capacity of any nation. America as a superpower has global responsibilities -- but that's not one of them. Utopias have no place in geopolitics.
-- Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's Minister Mentor, interviewed by Arnaud de Borchgrave
answering the question, "what concerns you most about the next 10 years, including WMD terrorism?"
