Prof. Pape shows the escalation of bombings targeting western troops after Afghanistan troop level escalation in years since 2005.
10/15/2009
Prof. Pape of the University of Chicago points to the link between the escalation of bombings targeted at western forces as foreign occupiers and the increase in troops after 2005. About 100,000 foreign troops are on Afghan soil. A military presence without boots on the ground of this magnitude to be seen as foreign occupiers is needed as that will fail in Afghnistan, Pape says.

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.
