Seeing that phrase here and thinking about it at the spur of the moment I'll bet it refers to doing things in old England when they had to do stuff by oil or candle light. Is this stuff "important" enough that I'd want to actually burn one of my precious candles to discuss it? But, isn't that what the NEW General is trying to accomplish in Afghanistan. Isn't he trying to finesse those Nationalistic Yearnings? From what I've read, MOST Afghanis just want to be able to live their lives and raise their families without having to worry about being killed everyday. They've been going through this for 30 years now and I think they JUST want to be able to live their lives. If we just get out then no 8 year old girl there will ever go to school again and every 8 year old boy will ONLY go to schools that teach Jihad more than mathematics.
