At times over the last few months, the debate over the way forward in Afghanistan has been bitter, with strong opinions on all sides.  As heated as it's been, I think it's mostly an important exercise, that can help push policy in the right direction.  But a special exception has to be made for people like Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who think the best way to responsibly fund America's mission in Afghanistan, is by re-directing money from the United Nations. Apparently financing what she defines as a critical national security mission means slicing funding from a U.N. umbrella which includes under it such enterprises as the United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan.
