Maybe they could talk their suicidal followers into flying commercial jetliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Maybe they could harbor terrorists who want to kill any American they encounter. Maybe they could destabilize an already shaky region, causing a war between Pakistan and India who both, by the way, do have nuclear weapons. I can think of many ways the terrorists in Afghanistan can do the world harm and ruin your life in the process. Oh, I don’t know.

Fortunately in Iraq we are at the tail end of the war and conducting stability operations. Most the action in Afghanistan is still focused on counterinsurgency. Information Operations are another potential key for success in Afghanistan. It's imperative that leaders there publish success stories on the diplomatic, military, and economic front. This is even more challenging with the low literacy rates in mountain villages. But, pictures and video can fill in the gaps. Either way, our task in Afghanistan is not easy and will take a tremendous multi-year investment. My question...what do we do about the Taliban & Al-Qaeda that will remain in Pakistan?

My question…what do we do about the Taliban & Al-Qaeda that will remain in Pakistan?
