Introduction:
This paper will propose a strategy for possible solution of Afghan conflict in the light of its historical background, potential strengths and opportunities which exist in this nation. It will provide more space and opportunity for the actual works that are rebuilding state and reconstruction of the country. The paper, in the second section, will look at causes of conflict and several attempts, the real and supposedly, for democracy taken in last century.
Afghanistan is a country, repeatedly, dealing with war and violence or waiting for war along the history. Most of these wars imposed from outside occupiers not the ‘internal’ ones which can be called ‘civil wars’ too. It has been seen potential for being such a war zone for many reasons. First, its geopolitical location is one of the important indicators to put this country in such a challenging situation. Second reason is its own natural resources that are still fresh and existed without any usage, which seems to be a future reserve of energy for super powers.
Now with the new attempts for democracy the most challenging image for the country is the bigger picture of war on terror and international drugs export. Considering all complexity of the conflict and its multiple dimensions, it will be worthwhile to discuss the extent of possibility in which conflict may be brought to an end and it will be focus of the third section of this paper. The last part of third section will concentrate on the cost of the proposed strategy for current government’s elites and other important actors as well as on the cost of this strategy for international community and United States as dominant power in contemporary world politics. The paper will also explore the long term effectiveness of this strategy for these actors.
