Why are we in Afghanistan? Posted by Patrick Barry

Heather opens up the panel with an 'easy question' - what are the U.S.' core interests in Afghanistan?

Spencer observers that a syndicate of insurgents and terrorists operating in the region is at the core of discussions of American interests in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  All other issues affecting the region are secondary to this problem.

Stephen Biddle did a nice job of analyzing the justifications for our presence in Afghanistan in a piece for the American Interest.

I had heard the top U.S. military officer saying the United States and Pakistan are working together more closely to fight terrorist groups whose operations span the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
