Lind is right. The Pashtu by themselves cannot govern Afghanistan, but Afghanistan cannot be governed without the Pashtu. Excluding the Tauliban, who are how Pashtu nationalism is expressed in Afghanistan, meant excluding the Pashtu from post-Tauliban Afghanistan — a recipe for disaster. Such as the one being faced by the United States and NATO right now.

William Lind has been my favorite correspondent on military affairs for years now. I was delighted to hear him speak for the first time and to discover that he is just as eloquent and insightful in conversation as he is in his essays.

Bravo, and thanks for the fascinating interview!

Steve,

I’ll go one better. Make Mr. Lind SecDef under a Paul administration. (I hope) His grasp of third generation warfare is equally impressive and it is way past time to teach some of these folks that we need to quit fighting second generation warfare. Some of these folks seem to think this is a repeat of WWII.

Scott,

I hope that you and Charles bring him back often.

I hereby nominate William Lind as national security advisor. Of course, there’s no guarantee that George W. Bonaparte would listen to him.
