Contrary to Dick Cheney’s accusation that the administration is “dithering,” many of us feel that a period of discernment is clearly called for in Afghanistan. We know what Cheney wants America to do — he never dithered, even when there were no facts to support his case for more war. Dick Cheney always wants to fight. But Cheney’s foreign policy was an embarrassment for America, and a tragedy for the rest of the world. And not to follow his advice is always a good first step of moral wisdom.
