Is the US Repeating Soviet Mistakes in Afghanistan?
Jonathan S. Landay, McClatchy Newspapers: "Twenty years to the day after the last Soviet soldier left Afghanistan, Dastagir Arizad ticked off grievances against President Hamid Karzai and the United States that are disturbingly reminiscent of Moscow's humiliating defeat. 'Day by day, we see the Karzai government failing. The Americans are also failing,' said Arizad, 40, as he huddled against the cold in the stall where he sells ropes and plastic hoses. 'People are not feeling safe. Their lives are not secure. Their daughters are not safe. Their land is not secure. The Karzai government is corrupt.'"
