“While the two obvious options – to back General McChrystal’s Iraq-like surge with its nation-building goals, or to scale back to a small counter-terrorism force that adopts a policing stance aimed at protecting American interests – are dominating the debate, Mr Obama and some of his advisers are searching for a middle way, which could involve strategic military support for fighting the twin enemies of the Taliban and al-Qa’ida, conditional support to the government of Hamid Karzai – who is reeling from well-documented allegations of systemic rorting of the recent presidential elections – and significantly boosting aid for neighbouring Pakistan.

Middle way is no solution.War on terrorism can not be fought on in another country short of taking over the country.Correct option would be to supply materials , both military and economic, provided there is a civilian Govt. with its heart in wiping terrorism.And shore up your Nation’s security.
Afghanistan-Middle Way?
