Afghanistan: Why? For how long? To what end?
September 1, 2009

As the 8th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan approaches, U.S. and NATO casualties are skyrocketing and the devastating toll on the civilian population continues unabated. And yet, serious questions remain about why we are still there. Is Afghanistan really the central battle in the so-called war on terror, or is it Afghanistan’s strategic location—right in the middle of a region that is home to vast energy reserves—that holds the interest of policy-makers? Are we in a confrontation with Al Qaeda—or are we jockeying for position against Russia and China?
