I've been thinking about the problem of what President Bush calls 'nation building'. It's easy to snipe, but some of our military problems, human rights concerns, etc. surely stem from unstable nations. I'm not saying, eg, that we're responsible for the Taliban's rise in Afghanistan, but could we have helped to prevent it?

Steven's post about Sen. Biden's plan prompted me today (and you should read the discussion, too).
