It unnerves me to see the cover of the Princeton Alumni Weekly refer to “winning hearts and minds in Afghanistan.” Maybe if America dropped food instead of bombs. Maybe if America visited to build schools instead of to occupy. I realize it is about Lt. Bedell, but using that Bush-era “winning hearts and minds” line is a poor choice of words.
