Afghanistan is a central front in the war on terror. Finding ways to eliminate this transnational threat requires military, political, diplomatic and intelligence effort.
Afghan experts have much to contribute to this effort. They know the language, customs, traditions, and beliefs of the people among whom the terrorists are hiding - and terrorizing.
Afghans have much at stake in this fight and fully understand why another generation cannot be lost to terrorists.
The international community cannot afford not to make use of the access Afghan terrorism experts can uniquely provide.
Afghans know first hand why it is necessary to get rid of terrorism as a political strategy
