Klueless On Kandahar

When you hear Canada's political and military leadership wax eloquently on Afghanistan, it's like listening to kids telling Santa what they want for Christmas. They know what they want and when they want it and they just want it to come down the chimney.

Do you want to really know what's in play in Kabul and what the future of that region might just look like? If so, read this.

But, but, but... wasn't this supposed to be about a war against Islamists, you know, the Taliban? In your dreams. No, it's a geo-political rivalry among India and Pakistan and China that may just see the entire region reshaped, re-aligned. No matter how many fine young soldiers we feed into that gaping maw, we're not going to resolve any of that.

Ho, ho, ho and Merry Christmas

  1. Any foreigners who have lived in Asia know this...it isn't new news that China, India and Pakistan dislike each other.

    This article is Francesco Sisci's opinion. Most of the article is written in the future.

  5. No, not at all. In fact the house is decorated, the presents are wrapped and I'm so looking forward to spending a delightful Christmas/New Year's holiday with this beautiful, witty, charming woman. And I hope you can do likewise.
