The war of consensusUS’ engagement in Afghanistan has been more direct with the Taliban yet the ghost of their might lingers on. Neither one is willing to back down and is willing to show the world not that a solution can be reached (because no plausible solution has ever been proposed) but to show to the world that they can fight an inconclusive war. What this begs is a revision of what has been done so far and what is to be achieved. Much like in Vietnam, US in Afghanistan is trying to find ways in fighting the Taliban. The war in Afghanistan is a largely forgotten war where the emergence of various terrorist groups are being utilized for various states’ own interests.
