Subject(s): Summary: Suggests that by highlighting the war on terrorism the United States addresses a symptom rather than the causes of instability in Central Asia; thus it is contributing to the radicalization of political opposition movements and discrediting both democratisation and the U.S. committment to it. Instead the USA should do more to relieve the underlying human security problems in central Asia, and the U.S. Army should contribute to demining efforts and expand training in drug interdiction.
