BS....There is no Proof or evidence to back-up Her claim that 911 was masterminded in Afghanistan.....

As a mater of fact , all the money tracks back to Saudi Arabia.

Hack politicians making half-informed decisions lead inevitably to the deep muck, eh? Mr. Stewart lays down a few planks to help us get across nearly dry if we leave behind our anchor chain ideology and hard to steer expectations. Let everyone who can hear pay attention please.

American hikers can understand his approach better than American politicians.

A hiker, traveling across any country, knows that the small towns are more likely to be friendly than any big city, and since 70 percent of population in Afganistan lives in those small towns ("places in between"). That teaches humility and understanding and generates trust. Long term sustainable support is what they need. Not big fix and then run out on them.

Wow. What a well educated, brilliant man. We need more people like him leading the country.

Clever, interesting chap. Glad he's an MP now.

Millions follow Palin's gibberish and yet don't have a clue about Mr. Stewart - our ' civilization ' is doomed !

Only one man returned from Afghanistan."

Rory stewart as far as I can tell is a genius pure and simple; his emotions do not cloud his views on the nature of reality......"we are not morally obliged to do what we can't"......
