An article in Outlook comments, “Obama’s biggest hope is that Afghanistan will not become America’s second Vietnam and his political grave.” The article states that Obama’s strategy in Afghanistan may be effective short-term. “However, from the long-term perspective, it remains uncertain whether the new strategy can lead the U.S. out of the quagmire of Afghanistan.”
