After a decade of steady U.S. military aid to the Mujahedin, the final Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan was seen by many Western observers as a concrete affirmation of the continued validity of containment as the primary doctrine in U.S. foreign policy. The following essay challenges this positive conclusion by investigating the roots of containment in South Asia in the first decade following World War II. It is argued that containment was an inadequate policy guide for the convoluted politics of South Asia and actually served to aggravate political tensions between Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. In doing so, the United States unwittingly drove both Afghanistan and India into partnership with the USSR, thus creating the exact scenarios that containment was intended to prevent. |
