- Abstract:
The article discusses U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's promise to win the war in Afghanistan and defeat Osama bin Laden, and reflects on how difficult this may be. The author quotes U.S. Army Colonel John Nagl who surveyed Afghanistan's formidable terrain and realized how deeply entrenched the Taliban terrorist organization is. Nagl concluded that insurgents couldn't be battled with troop strength, using Great Britain and Russia as examples, but that the people must be changed.
