Our crumbling infrastructure is the result of decades of deliberate neglect...
Deliberate neglect from politicians whose purpose was to funnel people into state sponsored mass transit systems that were unwanted and impotent for the job...
"Light rail" is another example of a horrendously expensive political scheme that nobody wants and the taxpayers can't afford...
Nation building begins with leaders worthy of the title...
Bob Schieffer's point here, that nation-building begins at home, is a very good and important point to make. America can lead by example. Not many nations will want to follow the example of a nation that continues to run record balance-of-trade deficits and whose infrastructure is crumbling.
And you can't impose a military "solution" on a political and economic problem, which -- truth be told -- is what really characterizes the problem in Afghanistan, even more than "religion."
because the Democrat base is done with WAR ..... you cant fight an ideology and beat its head with democracy .....waste of troops and money, we can't afford it

Obama criticized Bush for sending troops into Iraq and not Afghanistan where the "real' enemy was, so why does Obama now hesitate?
