The American forces invading Afghanistan were originally welcomed as liberators, but NATO got involved without a proper plan of engagement, and after eight years the presence of foreign troops is no longer welcome. A New NATO plan ought to call for an orderly exit, but that is not possible while al Qaeda and the Taliban are gathering strength.
巴基斯坦的问题与阿富汗密切相关。美军入侵阿富汗时最初被当成解放者，但是北约在没有适当的参与计划情况下就参加进来，经过八年时间后，外国军队不再受到欢迎。应该计划有秩序的撤离，但是在基地组织和塔利班正在积聚势力的时候这是不可能的。但是没有当地民众的积极支持就难以打败他们。
