Abstract
Afghanistan needs long-term U.S. economic and military assistance. It does not need permanent U.S. bases. A lasting U.S. military presence in Afghanistan would be anathema to the Afghan people's historical struggle for freedom and independence. It would also undermine the credibility of President Hamid Karzai's fragile government and harm U.S. interests in the region.
