Ullrich Fichtner at Der Spiegel writes: Why NATO Troops Can’t Deliver Peace in Afghanistan Good days are in short supply in Afghanistan, a country at war -- or involved in several wars, to be exact. There is constant fighting on many fronts, hard and soft. The newspapers, and there are many of them in Kabul now, serve up pages of chaotic images every day.
