The Forgotten War
 |
On July 13, the Taliban attacked a U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan, killing nine Americans — the deadliest attack in three years. As violence escalates, both the Secretary of Defense and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama have discussed the need for more U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In his January/February 2007 Foreign Affairs essay "Saving Afghanistan," Barnett R. Rubin warned that Afghanistan was at risk of collapsing into chaos and urged Washington to rethink its strategy and increase its commitment to the country.
