The U.S. Engagement in Afghanistan: Post 9/11 Scenario
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The U.S. disengagement in Afghanistan after the erstwhile Soviet Union’s disintegration was a blunder on the part of the U.S. establishment. Hillary Clinton herself once admitted that, the way U.S. detached itself from the region was a mistake and Pakistan suffered out of that mistake. The impact of the September 11, 2001 incident upon the U.S. and its allies seem less as compare to Muslim community in the world and especially Pakistan affected most adversely than any other country in the world. Barak Obama took over in January 2009 and consciously started bridging the gap between ideology and humanity by constructing good relations with the Muslim World. He did well by visiting Riyadh and delivered speech in Cairo in June 2009. His conscious effort should be appreciated. The eyebrows rise when the U.S. president sent 30000 more troops to Afghanistan for supporting the war against terrorism. Therefore such dual policies may hamper the way of the U.S.-Muslim engagement initiative (USMI). The question is why the U.S. is obliged for adopting a dual policy against Muslims. It is very interesting that the U.S. is very much interested in having good relations with the Muslim world but it remain immature owing to the intervention of other external forces. These forces are controlling the economy of the U.S. for last sixty years. It is said that the last president of the U.S. was John F. Kennedy and after him all the president were from the establishment that had been dependent upon the Jewish lobby in the U.S.
