There is only one thing that Aijaz Ahmad should suggest to Obama, and that is: "Get out of Afghanistan, and Iraq... you can't afford two wars never mind one, and further borrowing will totally break the economy!" He should also give a lesson from recent history: when Hitler went contrary to his generals and opened up a second front against Russia, he spelt out the end of the German Empire. Take heed Obama, this is not just a second front, but a whole new war!
