If You Can't Drive It, Park It: Mission
from original post November 11, 2008:
My dad today passed on a conversation that he and my late grandfather had at some point after the US had decided to move into Iraq. My grandfather, a life-long conservative as well as a retired farmer and local public servant, was typical of his generation in that his actions were marked by a measured sense of humility. In his good-humored and unassuming manner, he offered his own foreign policy prescription: "If you can't drive it, park it."
It is my goal in this blog to record my exploration of the issues touching American involvement in Afghanistan, and US foreign policy in general. I would like to provide resources to fuel debate and discussion of the proper role of the US in today's world. In a functioning democracy, the free exchange of ideas should be encouraged, especially on matters as grave as war. Hopefully, Park It can serve to encourage the interchange of ideas on peace, the military, American values, morality and self-interest, effective conflict resolution, and the proper course of action for the current American administration.
