This latest observation on the situation in Afghanistan comes from an unexpected source and a writer of appropriate ethnicity - he seems to speak from the heart and lays out his own reasoning and conclusions in a very readable style.

I have no comment to make on whether his conclusions are correct, but I do subscribe to the view that until we understand the motivations and traditions of the Afghans themselves, we will continue to reap failure from our efforts in that region, whether cultural, diplomatic, or military.

Worth reading.
