The Way Forward in Afghanistan
On Tuesday, December 1, 2009 President Obama gave a major address on Afghanistan, committing additional U.S. soldiers, civilians, and assistance to Afghanistan -- eight years after the initial invasion. Does the United States have a compelling national interest in Afghanistan? Does the U.S. have the partners and strategy it needs to succeed? What is the way forward for the U.S. and its Afghan and international partners?
