Carly Flandro MONTANA KAIMIN The ongoing problems in the Middle East should be solved by easing tensions among countries rather than injecting more Amer- ican and European troops, an ac- claimed Pakistani reporter and author said Thursday night. Ahmed Rashid gave details on the solution in a speech deliv- ered in a packed UC Ballroom. Rashid also commented on the role the economic downturn and the presidential elections in the U.S. could play in the Middle East. Both McCain and Obama are concerned with the Taliban and al-Qaeda resurgence in Afghani- stan. In response, they both want more troops in Afghanistan, but Rashid said that’s not the answer. “More troops alone won’t solve this problem,” he said. “It’s a question of troops — plus what?” Instead, Rashid said in the third installment of the Presi- dent’s Lecture series that there is a need for a comprehensive plan to deal with tensions and insta- bility in the Middle East. Six countries surround Af- ghanistan: Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and China. These neighbors have increased their interference in Alisia Muhlestein / Montana Kaimin Afghanistan, Rashid said, and Journalist and author Ahmed Rashid speaks at the President’s Lecture Series Thursday night to a record crowd in the UC Ballroom. Rashid recently published a Americans have not tried to derail new book, “Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia.” See LECTURE, page 8 Pell Grant promise unlikely Film explores coal’s
