#1 Interesting, and I agree with the author.

IMO, cultural relations is the job that the State Department and the CIA ought to do, but they are generally run by leftards, and therefore the military has to step in and take responsibility.

#2 I too agree with this. We knew right from the start of the Iraq war that Rummy's statement that "DOD does not do nation building" Was the kiss of death for anyone who wondered about what happens after.
