Summary / Abstract (Note) | The attacks of 9/11 spurred the U.S. to pursue national security interests in Afghanistan through expensive, overlapping strategies. The Afghan War helped elicit changes in the region that produced new American interests there. Because of a modern ‘‘Great Game’’ between regional and global actors in and around Afghanistan, the U.S. cannot afford to withdraw from the region. |
