Support for Afghanistan Helps U.S., Too


Hamed Wardak is on the board of CUSAP, the Campaign for a U.S.-Afghanistan Partnership, an organization helping to promote and encourage continued U.S. support for Afghanistan as it brings itself up and out of the oppression of exerted on them by the Soviet Union and after them, the Taliban.

CUSAP believes that the same forces that motivated the United States to support Afghanistan after 2001 are still extant. The U.S. felt it necessary to stem the tide of international jihad and to deny safe haven to al Qaeda and the Taliban. In this way the ability of jihadists to launch terrorist attacks on the United Sates and its allies is severely restricted.

In order to achieve long term security and development of Afghanistan, Hamed Wardak and the CUSAP believe it is absolutely necessary for the United States to continue its support of Afghanistan and its people.
