Talibanistan: Negotiating the Borders Between Terror, Politics, and Religion The longest war the United States has ever fought is the ongoing war in Afghanistan. But when refer to "Afghanistan," we really mean a conflict that straddles the border with Pakistan -- and the reality of Islamic militancy on that border is enormously complicated. In Talibanistan, an unparalleled group of experts offer a nuanced understanding of this critical region. Please join the New America Foundation's National Security Studies Program for a conversation with some of these experts about the militancy and extremism that continue to plague Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan. Participants: Col. Thomas Lynch III Colonel-Retired, U.S. Army Distinguished Research Fellow, National Defense University Anand Gopal Bernard L. Schwartz Fellow, New America Foundation Hassan Abbas Senior Advisor, Asia Society Professor, National Defense University Brian Fishman Philanthropic Engineer, Palantir Technologies Counterterrorism Research Fellow, New America Foundation Sameer Lalwani Research Fellow, National Security Studies Program, New America Foundation Ken Ballen President, Terror Free Tomorrow Peter Bergen Director, National Security Studies Program, New America Foundation newamerica.net/events/2013/talibanistan
