Obama has to stand up and fight for a ‘no fight’ policy rather than bow down to group think

Barack, the point to prove here is that there is no point

Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s first message to President-elect Obama was: “End US air-strikes that risk civilian casualties.” His message was sent shortly after coalition troops bombed a wedding party in Kandahar province, reportedly killing 40 people. There is no indication that his opinion was “taken on board.”

The British command has warned that there is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan and that there will have to be negotiations with the Taliban, risking a rift with the US, The Financial Times reports. Issues are already on the table, writes Jason Burke, a correspondent for The Observer: “The Taliban have been engaged in secret talks about ending the conflict in Afghanistan in a wide-ranging ‘peace process’ sponsored by Saudi Arabia and supported by Britain.” A leader of Awakened Youth of Afghanistan, a prominent anti-war group, said that we must end “Afghanicide – the killing of Afghanistan.”

In Foreign Affairs, Barnett Rubin and Ahmed Rashid recommended that US strategy should shift from more troops and attacks in Pakistan to a “diplomatic grand bargain – forging compromise with insurgents while addressing an array of regional rivalries and insecurities.” The current military focus “and the attendant terrorism,” might lead to the collapse of nuclear-armed Pakistan, with grim consequences.

They urge the incoming US administration “to put an end to the increasingly destructive dynamics of the Great Game in the region” through negotiations that recognise the interests of the concerned parties within Afghanistan as well as Pakistan and Iran, but also India, China and Russia. Obama, they write, must end “Washington’s keenness for ‘victory’ as the solution to all problems, and the United States’ reluctance to involve competitors, opponents, or enemies in diplomacy.” Early on, at any number of points in the danger zone, the Obama administration could act to break the ominous cycle of violence.
