Barnett Rubin's 2007 article, "Saving Afghanistan," cites U.S. military officials to the effect that Pakistan is providing a safe haven for Taliban leadership. Why is that such a problem? A. Because "the Taliban are now being infected by the ideologies of internationalist Islamist organizations" and these ideas will return with them to Afghanistan once peace returns. B. Because "few insurgencies with safe havens have ever been defeated." C. Because "Pakistan's protection is preventing the U.S. from serving justice to those responsible for the 9/11 attacks." D. Because "al Qaeda's leadership is hiding amongst the Taliban and is thus effectively protected by the Pakistani government."
