    I agree on most points, except perhaps that the ISI isn’t exactly as tightly run that you don’t have strong internal factions. What happens in Pashtun doesn’t necessarily jive with what happens in Islamabad.

      I agree, the ISI is somewhere between a rogue arm of Pakistan, and it’s shadow government.

      But messing around in Iraq was stupid, and trusting Pakistanis for anything, moreso.

        Do you believe it’s something in their genes?

          No, I just think it’s cultural, their history is exploiting others, the indians as mughals, who they sold to the British empire, then they lived off the US during the cold War.

          Why would they have to learn to do anything for themselves?
