Abstract Details

2006, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Political Science.
The United States is currently fighting a counterinsurgency war in Afghanistan for which there seems to be no end in sight. While mucn national media attention has been given to America's war in Iraq, relatively little attention has been paid to the Taliban's effort to delegitimize and destabilize the newly-elected government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Since the end of official combat operations in March 2002, the Taliban has reorganized into a guerilla force and is operating out of the tribal areas of Pakistan. In the absence of an effective strategy to root out the Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan, America's effort to prevent Afghanistan from returning to its former status as a terrorist safe haven is likely to end in failure.
