The article features the Haqqani network, another source of opposition to the Americans in Afghanistan after the Islamic militant Talibans. The confrontation with the group is said to undermine the flaws inherent in the U.S. strategy to rid Afghanistan of terrorism and establish democracy. The author points at the policy to support rebel groups resisting Soviet influence, not declaring Haqqani as a serious threat and the U.S.'s confrontational attitude as some of the flaws in U.S. policy.
