Summary: This assessment of the problems with recent attempts to work in Afghanistan highlights the need for a shared vision for Afghanistan: “means have too often defined goals, tactics too often driven strategy, supply too often determined demands, and short-term necessities too often took precedence over long-term priorities” (p. 6). This article looks at specific strategic challenges facing Afghanistan and presents ways in which leaders might transition to sustainable policies that will make peace and stability realistically obtainable.
