The mission in Afghanistan has been the top priority for NATO, displaying the solidarity and common action of the member states in the stabilization and state building process.  The current situation however confirms that the military cannot be the only means for success in Afghanistan. Are regional cooperation, emphasis on the civilian missions, and engagement of the Taliban the key aspects of the success story in Afghanistan?
