Pakistan is now an enemy of the United States. We don’t know why we are here, what we are fighting for, or how to know if we are winning. The strategy is to fight, talk, and build. But we’re withdrawing the fighters, the Taliban won’t talk, and the builders are corrupt.  Karzai’s family is especially corrupt. We want President Karzai gone but we don’t have a...
