POST: Can the Anbar Strategy Work in Pakistan?, By Clint Watts, Small Wars Journal, December 21, 2007
Very solid analysis that at once: 1) makes you pessimistic on a repeatable solution for Afghanipakistan; but 2) makes you realize the geographic limits of al Qaeda's staying power and thus more optimistic that, by focusing again more on the source, we're progressing in our overall strategy (both the learning and adjustment that's occurred in Iraq and how developments there enable more focus on back to where it was inevitably headed).

Meaning that- in the broader conflict- whoever learns to shelve their egos and adapt to different cultures first will have a huge advantage over the other?
