Do the Military and Development Mix?
Commentary
Measuring economic development in Afghanistan by the same yardstick as a Pentagon mission is a recipe for disaster.
Full Snow Moon
The bombers fly so close you feel their engines
in your chest though none can say
where they're headed or why
On the lake near my house boys dare each other
onto the frozen surface
The smallest brings the enormous weight of his fear
He drags it like a shadow
