Afghanistan Conundrum

摘要

As the US Strategy Review on Afghanistan is nearing completion, divergent perceptions are being aired by statesmen, resistance leaders, think tanks, military organisations, eminent persons, lobbyists, well-wishers, spoilers etc. President Karzai spoke his heart out during an interview to the Washington Post. He'has urged the United States to reduce the visibility and intensity of its military operations in Afghanistan, and end special operations forces' raids. He pointed out that the highly visible presence of US troops in Afghanistan is counterproductive and that Afghans have lost patience with the long-term presence of American soldiers.
