The goal in Afghanistan, as the World Blog writer Richard Engel interprets it, is to "convince militants to stop fighting and to persuade Afghans sitting on the fence-those unsure whether to back the Taliban or President Hamid Karzai's government-to throw their support behind the U.S.-backed government and its security forces."Fair enough. But if you want to know how we plan to accomplish that feat, take a look at the large version of the military's amazingly complicated schematic (from the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) which outlines the entire strategy. The chart, at least, is a bit of a quagmire.
