“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”- John Maynard Keynes. Perhaps one of the few things he said that was ever true.

That which doesn't kill me has made a grave tactical error
Why would the Afghans value the lives of dead Afghans more than we? How much are the lives of the USA's inner-city youth valued here? Who demands compensation for them or that the wars on work and trade end? Americans are not acting in the interest of Americans. I expect no different from the Afghans.
Yes, please use the correct language.
