Richard Haas on Afghanistan, Pakistan, U.S. national security goals, and action needed to redirect resources.
09/03/2009
Haas calls Afghanistan a strategic distraction and calls for the redirection of resources. The $125 billion spent there each year should go to address national security goals in areas that need it badly-, to reduce the deficit finances which weakens the US, the growing threats from N. Korea and Iran's nuclear development, and modernization needs in defense.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
