Dear Commons Community,

I am not a big Tom Friedman fan but he has an interesting column today in the NY Times.  On the day after President Obama’s talk at West Point, I agree with his basic thesis that we need to do more nation building especially for our children and our children’s children here in the USA before we can support a costly, long war to build a nation in Afghanistan.
