Afghanistan: The consolidation of a rogue state

Abstract

It is imperative that the United States initiate a proactive offensive on the Taliban, whose agenda presents a significant threat to our national security and moral leadership. By aiding the Taliban's victims, supporting moderate Afghans, and elevating the importance of Afghanistan at home, the United States can implement a policy that will prevent this group from further consolidating its power and asserting itself as an uncontrollable rogue state.
