In Afghanistan, 2011 will be a defining year. The international community must make sure Afghanistan is able to take control of its own security, because it is our security that will be compromised if al-Qaeda returns. But the cause of the problem is not simply violence, and the solution will not be military alone. As we mark the tenth anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks, the question is how we support the Afghan government in engaging in a serious political process, where we break down the insurgency, reintegrate former combatants and find a way to reconcile elements of the insurgency with the mainstream of Afghan society. Strong politics, not just big guns, will be needed to bring this war to an end.
