This NYU CGA series features editors of Foreign Affairs in conversation with leading journalists and authors. Ahmed Rashid, author of 'Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia,' examines Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how nation building in the region has progressed. While Iraq attracts more U.S. media attention and military might, Rashid argues that Pakistan and Afghanistan pose a graver threat to global security than the Middle East.
