The London Times reports on America's success in Afghanistan

Here is what the Times had to say.

Many of those bereaved on September 11, 2001, may still be asking themselves if anything unequivocally good can come of that day. The swearing-in yesterday of Hamid Karzai as President of Afghanistan offered a positive answer. As a direct result of the attacks on New York and Washington, Afghanistan has, for the first time, a democratically-elected leader who is respected at home and abroad, and fiercely committed to weaning his country off warlordism and the opium poppy. For the first time, likewise, Afghanistan has the rest of the world on its side. The international community is now heavily invested in what was the definitive failed state, and too grimly aware of how that failure was exploited by extremists.

"Afghanistan has the rest of the world on its side", if that were true we would see a lot more articles like this one. But to point out Afghanistan's success would be to point out America's success, something old media can barely bring itself to do.
