And the phrase, "Complicate Afghan Education Efforts" sounds like the books are hindering current US attempts at effecting progressive change. Nobody would guess from this headline that US AID has been forcing Islamic fundamentalist texts on Afghan kids for 20 years. And that they're still importing the same fundamentalist texts today.

(This is important because studies show that with any given article, most people only read the headline.)

In the body of the article itself the Post asserts without offering any evidence that steeping "a generation in [Islamist] violence" was an "unintended consequence" of giving these kids violent Islamist schoolbooks.

"Unintended consequence" is fast becoming the US Establishment's favorite excuse for the many disasters of its foreign policy. "We didn't know. We weren't prepared. We used old maps. We didn't see the train. We thought there were tanks in the refugee column. Who could have expected this to happen?" and on and on.

But does the case of the Islamist textbooks seem like "unintended consequences?" Or, quite the contrary, doesn't it show every indication of being "deliberate policy!"

In a forthcoming article we will examine other "unintended consequences" of US policy in Afghanistan.

Here's a thought.

The mass media and top US officials made a very big deal about John Walker Lindh, the American youth seized for working with the Taliban.

Mr. Lindh couldn't have had a very big effect on Afghanistan. But the US officials who approved the production and distribution of millions of fanatical schoolbooks did have a big effect. They "steeped a generation in [Islamist] violence." Could it be that politicians are focusing on Mr. Lindh to create a demagogic smokescreen in order to hide US government involvement, or their own involvement, or perhaps their father's involvement in pushing violent Islamic fundamentalism on the innocent children of Central Asia?
