In this module you are required to write a 5-8 page (not including the cover and reference pages) position paper thoroughly discussing the material presented during the week. APA citations are expected, an abstract is not.

• Explain the way you see the aspects of U.S. public interest and national interest in our military involvement in Afghanistan.
• Analyze how US National and Public interests intersect with regards to this very popularly debated conflict. This analysis might well be what political candidates to the next national elections are expected to do in order to develop their policy position on the matter. Do not go into great lengths in describing your position. Solidify your analysis and create a succinct impactful statement to explain where you stand. In the realm of public policy communication you only have 30 seconds to make an impact on your audience
