在阿富汗的愚蠢远征

Aug 9, 2010 Jaswant Singh

新德里——

当“维基解密”网站在网上公布美国情报机构关于阿富汗战争的原始资料时，巴基斯坦读者以恶毒言词回击。这其中包括“亲保守主义吸血鬼。。。残忍的伊斯兰恐惧症。。。智库民族统一主义者。。。（印度）复仇主义分子。。。策划另一起分裂事件，以便他们在阿富汗继续他们的血宴。”而美国国防部长盖茨对泄露事件表示只是“羞愧”和“震惊”，这和巴方的反响形成鲜明的对比。

人们对泄露事件反应之所以如此强烈，原因是一旦真相的暴露，美国领导的反“吉哈德主义”（Jihadism）就突然陷入困境。事实上很显然，对阿富汗的入侵是美国的一次重大的误判，他们原本以为可以成功占领阿富汗。

Jaswant Singh was the first person to have served as India’s finance minister (1996, 2002-2004), foreign minister (1998-2004), and defense minister (2000-2001). While in office, he launched the first free-trade agreement (with Sri Lanka) in South Asia’s history, initiated India’s most daring diplomatic opening to Pakistan, revitalized relations with the US, and reoriented the Indian military, abandoning its Soviet-inspired doctrines and weaponry for close ties with the West. His most recent book is India at Risk: Mistakes, Misconceptions and Misadventures of Security Policy.
