We are slowly awakening to a crisis with global implications. America may have won one war in Afghanistan (or at least bribed its way to victory), but our failure to attend to the peace is now coming back to haunt us in the most terrible ways. Ahmed Rashid, "Pakistan's best and bravest reporter" according to Christopher Hitchens, is a voice of reason amid the chaos of Central Asia today. His unique knowledge of this complex, war~torn region gives him a panoramic vision and grasp of nuance that no Western writer can emulate. His timely book TALIBAN introduced American readers to that now notorious regime. In his new book, Rashid reviews the regional conditions since 9/11 and the catastrophic aftermath of America's failed war on terror. His conclusions are devastating and deeply critical of current U.S. foreign policy. Iraq is essentially a sideshow. Pakistan and Afghanistan are where the war really began and where the fight against Islamic insurgency is eventually going to be played out. He explains how Pakistan provided the Taliban with sanctuary, money, and arms after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, while remaining America's main strategic ally in the region, and how Pakistan's state security agency has been taking CIA money to arrest Al Qaeda operatives but is using it to fund the Taliban's regrouping in northwest Pakistan. He traces how the United States' and NATO's failure to attend to the Afghan economy and government after the invasion led directly to the revival and huge proliferation of the opium trade, which is now funding the Taliban. The United States wasted millions of dollars on contractors, corrupt bureaucrats, and double~dealing local authorities in a ruinous attempt to dodge the rebuilding problems in Afghanistan. Rashid also brings into clear focus myriad regional issues that few in our country seem to understand and yet are having a crucial impact on our own security and conduct~the nuclear programs and piracy in Pakistan, the all~important role of the Indian~Pakistani rivalry underlying every move in Pakistan, the abysmal results of the NATO peace keeping operation in Afghanistan, and the roles of our other allies, the tyrants in Uzbekistan and the other former Soviet republics in the region. Seven years after 9/11, despite the thousands of lives and billions of dollars that have been spent in the region, it is in chaos. Pakistan, unstable and armed with nuclear weapons, has become terrorism central. The Taliban is resurging and reconquering land, and Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. And at the heart of these calamities is the United States' refusal to accept its responsibility for statecraft and nation building and its utter failure to understand the region. Rashid's blistering critique of American policy is also a warning and an impassioned call to correct our failed strategies. There is no more urgent global task.
