A new strategy in Afghanistan for America

America must start to compete with radical Islam for the hearts and mind of the Afghan people and the muslim world. The government should encourage missionary schools to start in Afghanistan mostly to be started by American muslins. Since there is a separation of church and state they cannot make it only muslims but muslims should be encouraged.

These missionary schools could include a k-12 school, a large prayer and worship center and stores and businesses that will help the Afghan economy. There should be at least 13 of these enclaves dispered throughout Afghanistan. The US military would change its mission from directing attacking the Taliban to primarily protecting these enclaves.

The missions of course would send out missionaries to evangelize and try t minister to the concerns of the Afghan people.

The military should continue to try to disrupt the training grounds breeding militants but there biggest concern would be the missions and gathering intelligence and getting to know our enemy and what they believe.
