If Afghanistan is its test, NATO is failing

As it celebrates its 60th birthday this year, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is cracking, with its internal politics having become fractious to the point of dysfunction. What was once billed as the most powerful military alliance in history will surely outlive its failures in Afghanistan and its adjustment to new global threats. But it may survive in name alone. - John Feffer (Sep 30, '09)
