What We’re Reading

At the Hague conference on Afghanistan, Secretary of State Clinton calls for diplomacy mixed with military aid and civilian programs.  She pledged $40 million for the Afghan elections, urged Afghan unity, and called years of failure of aid in Afghanistan “heartbreaking.”

The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the weekend’s attack on a police academy in Lahore.  The attack indicates that the Pakistani Taliban has moved beyond the tribal areas.

The U.K. begins to withdraw from Basra as American forces move in to take over.  A rebellious Sunni council disarmed following clashes this weekend, with promises of job offers from the Iraq security forces.  A suicide bomber killed eight in Mosul.

Iran agreed to help curtail Afghanistan’s drug trade but is critical of the U.S. troop buildup.  The Obama administration calls for destruction of the Afghan poppy fields, but officials call eradication counterproductive.

The US says it will contribute $40m (£28m) toward holding the Afghan elections this summer.

Last week, Mr Obama announced a fundamental rethink of US strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan to combat an "increasingly perilous" situation.

He said growing radical forces in the area posed the greatest threat to the American people and the world.

Promising an extra 4,000 US personnel to train and bolster the Afghan army and police, he also vowed support for civilian development.

Special US envoy Richard Holbrooke, also attending the conference, earlier predicted it would be "the launch point for the international recommitment to the effort in Afghanistan and western Pakistan".

Tuesday's conference is officially billed as a "Comprehensive Strategy in a Regional Context".

Of 73 countries invited, only one, Uzbekistan, declined to attend.
