Please provide a 12-15 page critical analysis on the following. Please make sure you have a clear thesis as the last sentence of the introduction, with discussions and analysis of your ideas in the body paragraphs.

Discuss counterterrorism operation: U.S. Afghanistan

Make sure you present examples of how the strategy was or wasn’t effective. This discussion should reflect the specific wave, groups, locations, and who was conducting the Counterterrorism strategies. Were there aspects of a strategy that failed that was positive (and conversely negative aspects of successful strategies)? Were all the variables of iSTART present in the operation, and were they effective? Discuss.

For your conclusion, evaluate these strategies and discuss if they have universal value or just specific to that time/group. Remember to follow the writing requirements for all assignments. You must have a thesis as the last sentence of the introduction, you must write in third person, and you need to use research appropriately.

(acronym iSTART meaning:

ideology:  The beliefs of the organization.

Strategy:  The way the organization is incorporating goals into their efforts in order to reach an end state.

Tactics:  The specific type of attacks the organization conducts.

Accounting (Financing):  How the organization is acquiring funding.

Recruitment:  How the organization is gaining additional followers and soldiers.

Targets:  This variable could be part of strategy or tactics or discussed separately, but often the specific targets an organization chooses often represents the ideology of the organization, or keeps the organization relevant.)
