The High Price of UnAssing

Isolationists Rejoice!

Maybe.

See, the world's one and only hyperpuisant disingaging at full speed brings up some shocking funintended consequences that may not be so fun

44 "s posse decided  it wants out from nettlesome foreign entanglements, and now finds itself surprised that it's running out of foreign influence. 
That is the larger significance of last week's Afghan diplomatic debacle, in which the Taliban opened an office in Doha for the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"—the name Mullah Omar grandiloquently gave his regime in Kabul before its 2001 downfall. Afghan President Hamid Karzai responded by shutting down negotiations with the U.S. over post-2014 security cooperation.

Now Great Satan finds herself in an amazing position. Merely to get the Taliban to the table for a bogus peace process, the administration agreed at Pakistan's urging to let Mullah Omar come to the table on his owns terms: no acceptance of the Afghan Constitution, no cease-fire with international forces, not even a formal pledge to never again allow Afghanistan to become a haven for international terrorism. The U.S. also agreed, according to Pakistani sources, to allow the terrorist Haqqani network—whose exploits include the 2011 siege of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul—a seat at the table.
 
Yet having legitimized Haqqani and given the Taliban everything it wanted in exchange for nothing, the U.S. finds itself being dumped by its own client government in Kabul, which can always turn to Iran as a substitute patron. Incredible: no peace, no peace process, no ally, no leverage and no moral standing, all in a single stroke. John Kerry is off to quite a start.

Camil Petrescu ultima noapte de dragoste intaia noapte de razboiRomanul a aparut în anul 1930. Despre elaborarea romanului, autorul însusi spune ca: “A fost o ardere continua, mistuitoare, în care rândurile se chemau unele pe altele, fara nici un fel de ragaz, sfârsita dupa luni si luni de truda a condeiului, odata cu caderea ultimelor frunze în baltoacele ploilor de toamna, lasându-l pe autor bolnav în pat pentru multa vreme”. Criticul G. Calinescu, întelegând cel mai profund noutatea romanului îl caracterizeaza drept “… o proza superioara”. Stari de constiinta legate de razboi si personaje de front, abia schitate în Ciclul mortii, sunt reluate, în dimensiuni mai ample, în romanul Ultima noapte de dragoste, întâia noapte de razboi, în care gasim precizarea ca: “drama razboiului nu e numai amenintarea continua a mortii, macelul si foamea, cât aceasta permanenta verificare sufleteasca, acest continuu conflict al eului tau, care cunoaste astfel ceea...
