Achieve Leaving Without Losing: The War On Terror After Iraq And Afghanistan Compiled By Mark N. Katz File Brochure

book seeks to discuss the future of US interests after having withdarwn from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Katz's primary lens of interpretation is to compare the War on Terror to the End of the Cold War, and the US withdrawal from Vietnam.
He asserts that withdrawal will not be clean, and the War on Terror will not end, but that does not mean that the US has 'lost'.
Instead, it must seek to decouple the myriad of conflicts associated with the War on Terror, and take advantage of opportunities isolation of Pakistan once the US doesn't need supply routes, the infighting in Islamist groups once the 'common enemy' is gone.
As the United States withdraws its combat troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, politicians, foreign policy specialists, and the public are worrying about the consequences of leaving these two countries.
Neither nation can be considered stable, and progress toward democracy in thema principal aim of America and the Westis

fragile at best.
But, international relations scholar Mark N, Katz asks: Could ending both wars actually help the United States and its allies to overcome radical Islam in the long term

Drawing lessons from the Cold War, Katz makes the case that rather than signaling the decline of American power and influence, removing military forces from Afghanistan and Iraq puts the U.
S. in a better position to counter the forces of radical Islam and ultimately win the war on terror.
He explains that since both wars will likely remain intractable, for Washington to remain heavily involved in either is counterproductive.
Katz argues that looking to its Cold War experience would help the U, S. find better strategies for employing Americas scarce resources to deal with its adversaries now, This means that, although leaving Afghanistan and Iraq may well appear to be a victory for Americas opponents in the short termas was the case when the U.
S. withdrew from Indochinathe larger battle with militant Islam can be won only by refocusing foreign and military policy away from these two quagmires.


This sober, objective assessment of what went wrong in the U, S. led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the ways the West can disentangle itself and still move forward draws striking parallels with the Cold War.
Anyone concerned with the future of the War on Terror will find Katzs argument highly thought provoking.
