Late Monday Tabs

1) A photo essay from Der Spiegel: The west-east German border, then and now.

2) John Mearsheimer argues for the United States to leave Afghanistan—but that Obama won’t because of domestic political considerations.

3) Americans are overhwelmingly in favor of a ban on texting while driving (this wouldn’t be a problem if our infrastructure was set up in a way that we used public transportation to commute!)

4) There are no “good guys” in the conflict in the eastern DRC.
