People could only attend who were on the guest list. I know of someone who admired Wilders opposition to religious fundamentalism who even asked to attend. Were unscreened Temple students allowed to attend? Is this going to occur in campus's around the country like Horowitz's last hate tour?

When it comes to Afghanistan it's best that the US leave quickly under the best conditions we can. The Taliban aren't interested in rubbing things in with goals for the world like al Qaeda. The only thing that would get in the way is that the Taliban might suspect that it was a trick, that the US would find a way to stay.

We live in a world where nonviolent Buddhist monks in Burma are squashed, and 9/11 is the way desperate kids of any political stripe see results. Regardless of politics it would be good for the war in Afghanistan to end without the US appearing powerless.

But the harm to the US economy and to our mindset from endless war is immeasurable. Any way out of Afghanistan would be better.
