What do we want? How do we get it?

[First!]

Kudos to the Navy SEALs and the President for authorising the operation. (Didn't
the SEALs capture Somali Pirates? Didn't the President authorise that
operation?) Nice thing about a Democrat. The Democrat can do what a
Republican can't do. Actually do something about something without being
criticised by the Democrats.

Again, Hooray for the SEALs!

Now on to Afghanistan.

What do we want? How do we get it?

The issue of Afghanistan references my comments on the world relying on the
Zero Sum Game approach to future planning.

It is easy to ask, "What do the Afghan people want?" However, different people in
Afghanistan may have different agendas and goals. It is not sufficient to say,
"What do we want, when do we want it?" The real issue is "What do we want,
how are we going to get it?" Then you must add, "What do we have to give to get
it?" Other Afghans have goals. Some are mutually exclusive. The Win-Win
platitude is great. However, for both sides to get something, each side must give
up something.

The question also relies on issues I’ve raised in my monograph, “The Impending
Failure of Western Diplomacy in the Middle East.

Chinese Wisdom: In the West, when you want privacy, you go into a lock room.
In the East, when we want privacy, we go into an open field.
