The Bloomberg Opinion editorial you published Aug. 21 (“Another View: Can the U.S. recover from the Afghanistan debacle?”) makes the point that the president should “recognize this misadventure as a failure.” Bloomberg is certainly right about that.

Letter to the editor: Vote ‘yes on 1’ to reject destructive CMP corridor
The beginning of the planned destruction of Enchanted Township, on Spencer Road near Jackman, has begun. What once was a beautiful green forest with mountains and hills in the distance is now a stripped-to-the-bare-ground corridor. White trucks, with workers from Wisconsin and other states (rarely a Maine vehicle), travel Spencer Road in clouds of dust […]
