New York Times-journalisten Carlotta Gall har väckt betydande uppmärksamhet i USA med sin bok ”THE WRONG ENEMY America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014”. Den verkliga fienden i Afghanistan är, menar denna mycket respekterade krigskorrespondent, Pakistan.
Så här sammanfattar Washington Posts recension bokens budskap:
”Gall’s Afghanistan will always have a Pakistani bogeyman, and for good reason. Pakistani militants are stronger and closer to both al-Qaeda and Afghan militants, making the security of Afghanistan and Pakistan more intertwined. The United States, too, remains indefinitely present in this hyphenated part of the world, where, Gall presciently warns, militant Islamism is “a juggernaut that cannot be turned off or turned away from” and will tie the United States to the region for decades to come.”
