In class, we have discussed the ongoing war in Afghanistan. We have observed that there is no easy way to "fix" the problems of the Afghan people, even though the original goal of displacing the Taliban regime has been reached. The United States military is now fighting a new war against Taliban insurgents, many of whom have found safety and aid in Pakistan, a well-paid "ally" of the U.S.
Briefly explain how you would deal with the war in Afghanistan, and why. Would you abandon the region? Would you increase the size and scope of the conflict? How would you address Pakistan?
