NATO is facing new challenges, the principal problem being Afghanistan, where NATO's forces are being relentlessly attacked by the Taliban, and popular support for maintaining troops there is fading among NATO countries. There are other problems, including the proposed deployment of anti-ballistic missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic, a potential flashpoint in Kosovo, and the growing tension between Russia and some of its neighbors. In short, NATO is facing new challenges, and the future of the alliance is unclear. The United States should begin discussions with our allies about what a post NATO world would look like.
