Stand up Stand Down
The story is set in a country struggling to come to terms with change and challenged by the difficulty of good governance in the face of dire poverty juxtaposed with immense wealth. The hero finds himself challenged on a personal and professional level to be faithful to the truth and loyal to his calling even as his family disintegrates because of this. His journey to find the truth takes him to places and people who contribute to both his search and his personal growth in a way that he never expects. What starts out as a simple story about an attempted murder, in a country where murder is the order of the day, becomes an intriguing journey; a journey that exposes the dark underbelly of a society that is bent on proving to itself and the world at large that the democracy won with the blood of innocent children is a reality. The outcome is as unexpected as it is thought provoking.

Unity of Effort
This study ascribes the lack of progress in Afghanistan more to forces and donors working at cross-purposes than to insufficient resources. The authors call for an indirect approach that emphasizes working through indigenous forces. They cite U.S. special operations forces (SOF) failure to support counterinsurgency objectives as an example of military units working at cross-purposes. The authors recommend three ways to improve unity of effort: all Operation ¿Enduring Freedom¿ forces (except SOF) should be merged into one common mission with international forces; decisionmaking authority between U.S. military and civilian leaders should be clarified; and SOF operations must focus on the indirect approach.

Unity of Effort
The Obama admin. is debating alternatives to the population-centric counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan that it unveiled in March 2009. Lack of progress in Afghanistan is due more to international donors and forces working at cross purposes, and unilaterally instead of with Afghans, than to insufficient resources. Some opponents of Gen. McChrystal¿s plan argue for abandoning counterinsurgency in favor of less complicated and less costly strikes against terrorists in Pakistan. However, the review of special operations offered here supports Gen. McChrystal¿s view that effective kill/capture operations require intelligence and political support from indigenous populations. The U.S. is trying to improve unified effort, but more needs to be done.
