                                  pakistan & afghanistan

The key to securing American regional objectives throughout the subcontinent of Southwest Asia resides in actively managing the dysfunctional and damaged alliance between Washington and Islamabad.  

The successful synoptic grasp the U.S. Army leadership had on fielding C.O.I.N. (counterinsurgency) Doctrine throughout both Mesopotamia and Afghanistan was blunted by the sheer intransigence of Pashtun culture, the ideological militancy of Pakistan's political, security institutions and Pakistan's weak political economy.  Neither of these objectives are war aims.  They are the result of insufficient culture in Pakistan's civil-military relations.  

The key to winning throughout Southwest Asia resides in the process of political reform and the idea of civilian supremacy in Islamabad.
