I was recently watching Dr. Hussain Nadim (IPRI), who works directly under our NSA, talk about how an inclusive government in Afghanistan is probably not possible, he did say it was his personal view, I think I agree with it. Afghanistan never had any inclusive government, and Taliban...
Pakistan Needs a Proactive Afghanistan Policy
As the United States and its NATO allies withdraw from Afghanistan, the stalled intra-Afghan peace deal is all but dead in the water. For Pakistan, this means formulating a policy that takes into account the near-certain possibility of increased...
I think they'd allow our media to go to their country and make a documentary about their ills. The question is, is our media even interested to do that?
