This paper argues that a winning US strategy in Afghanistan depends upon the systematic leveraging of the opportunity provided by a new logistics road and a new coordinated nonmilitary approach to Central Asia. According to the author, that approach would rely heavily on improved coordination at home and the more effective leveraging of superior US economic power in Central Asia to help stabilize the region so that it provides a secure rear to Afghanistan.
