| Summary/Abstract |
Since the December 2001 Bonn
Agreement, which established an
interim Afghan government, the
United States and international
community have focused on building Afghan
National Army (ANA) and Afghan National
Police (ANP) forces as the linchpin to security.
While necessary, national security forces have
never been sufficient to establish security in
Afghanistan. This strategy reflects a Western
understanding of the "state," more appropriate
for U.S. efforts in Germany and Japan after
World War II.
