Four years after the signing of the 2001 Bonn agreement, which sought to re-establish a state in Afghanistan, American officials voiced unqualified optimism about the country’s future. James Dobbins, the former US special envoy, claimed that the agreement had moved Afghanistan toward its intended goal of a more peaceful and inclusive democracy. “The Bonn agreement,” he said, “has been a remarkably successful road map toward Afghanistan’s political evolution, in which all of its benchmarks have been met more or less on schedule.” Outside of the country, Russia, India, Pakistan, and even Iran were praised for their willingness to provide support to the new government. “The word ‘democracy’ was actually introduced into the Bonn talks on the recommendation of the Iranian delegation,” stated Dobbins.
