FT editorial page, 2/11:
"Some western taxpayers' money will doubtless be wasted in the endeavor [to stabilize Afghanistan by buying off warlords]. But it is surely better to waste money than lives, especially when the amounts involved are so small. The $297m Washingotn has pledged to rebuilding Afghanistan this year equates to just seven hours of US defence spending."
