Thursday, October 22nd, 2009Stanley McChrystal’s Long War.
Dexter Filkins wrote “The Forever War” about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I would highly recommend it - not because it is fun or easy to read, but because it is a very well observed and written account of important events in our recent history.

Additional note - someone at work this week was telling me in their previous job a year or so ago they would make regular trips to Tijuana, Mexico to visit a plant their company had. He said there were multiple times when the party he was with wanted to go to a restaurant they had been to on their previous trip, and were told by those who lived in Tijuana that they couldn’t because the place had been fire-bombed out of existence.
