What is war for?

Article Abstract:

The author argues that the United States government seemed surprised at how quickly the Taliban government fell and seems to be unprepared to help set up a western-friendly government and move on in the War on Terrorism. He concludes that the U.S. needs to end its efforts in Afghanistan and move on to tracking Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

If the U.S. government hopes to track down the instigators of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, its intelligence agencies need to communicate with those of other countries. Only through international cooperation between intelligence agencies will there be any hope of stamping out terrorism.
