Nester (government and politics, St. John's U.) reviews the record of the United States with "counterinsurgency" and "counterterrorism" in the wake of the September 11th, 2001 attacks by al Qaeda, focusing in particular on Afghanistan and the border regions of Pakistan and finding the American response to have been characterized by a series of blunders mainly attributable to the administration of George W. Bush. Specifically, he criticizes the Bush administration for politically and ideologically motivated neglect of Clinton administration advice; being distracted from Afghanistan by attacking Iraq; the failure to encircle al Qaeda at their Tora Bora mountain complex; and failure to send enough military, intelligence, and development assets to Afghanistan.
