EDWARD SNOWDEN ON AFGHANISTAN; 180821

“A fractious country comprised of warring tribes, unable to form an inclusive whole; unable to wade beyond shallow differences in sect and identity in order to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity, and so they perish—in the span of a breath—without ever reaching the promised shore.
Today, the country this describes is Afghanistan. Tomorrow, the country this describes might be my own.”
