Al Qaeda, Afghanistan and the Good War

Austin, TX, Feb. 25, 2008 – In Stratfor’s Geopolitical Intelligence Report this week discusses the “good war”- the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Both supporters and opponents of the war in Iraq seem to support the war in Afghanistan, however, the Afghan war is in trouble. Whether or not this matters depends upon the status of al Qaeda. Dr. George Friedman analyzes the reasons for this and why in the end this war cannot be won or ended.
