What Will the US Leave Behind in Afghanistan? When the US military complained that 65 "dangerous" prisoners were released without trial, President Karzai told it to stop "harassing" Afghan courts. At the same time, Karzai is negotiating with the Taliban, creating fears of a new "war against women" after 12 years of progress.

Will there still be support in this country for continued involvement after the longest war in American history?
