"The Most Unconquerable Place on Earth"
I was talking with a friend today about Obama's decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.

Maybe tanks, drones and machine guns aren't such game-changers after all. And perhaps Obama should have had an historian or two--or John Oliver--join his team to decide a course of action in Afghanistan.
