Seven years after 9/11, the Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan and al Qaeda is planning attacks against America from its new safe haven on the border. Yet President Bush diverted America’s attention to Iraq and has weakened the military’s ability to respond. We need to take the fight to our enemies where they live by redeploying forces from Iraq to Afghanistan, leaning on NATO to supply more troops and building more capable Afghani security forces. This module describes what’s at stake, outlines a strategy to win in Afghanistan and provides suggestions to roll out your plan to the public.
