100-Year-War

Notes [Updated]: If bin Laden could have asked his maker for the most helpful possible American reaction to 9-11, he could not have done better than the Bush Administration’s ill-considered conventional military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, with all Bush policies now “institutionalized” by the Obama Administration.  The US is now an occupying force in Iraq, and in Afghanistan it has lost control of the entire country, where under US “non-control” the opium crop has gone for 4% to 90% of world opium and most of the #4 heroin (via Pakistan's processing facilities), enriching the Taliban and selected warlords, who will be almost impossible to dislodge without resuming combat operations.   We have started and are stuck with a six-front 100-year war that we can win ONLY by waging Whole of Government / Multinational Engagement peace.

Somebody somewhere has to do this, and do it with over 90 nations, all NGOs, and global reach into all academic and private sector organizations desiring to share information and do multilateral sense-making.

Sharing 80-20 Rule

This is a 2000-2002 slide that bears on the extraordinary possibilities inherent in creating a global multinational open source information sharing and sense-making grid.  The 80-20 rule really does seem to stand up under most circumstances.  White Hat (Stabilization & Reconstruction, Peaceful Preventive Measures) are especially responsible to shared open source information across all boundaries.

Six-Front War

o the left is the map we created when it was clear the USA was going to invade Iraq and blow what should have been the surgical demise of Osama Bin Laden.  This slide was created for and used in the opening briefing to the SES course on national security at the Western Management Development Center, and in 19 briefings around the country to the American Committees on Foreign Relations (ACFR).

The only really decent conflict map, now out of production, is Berto Jongman's World Conflict & Human Rights Map also available in a Simplified World Conflict Map.

Notes: If bin Laden could have asked his maker for the most helpful possible American reaction to 9-11, he could not have done better than the Bush Administration’s ill-considered conventional military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq.  The US is now an occupying force in Iraq, and in Afghanistan it has lost control of the entire country, where under US “non-control” the opium crop has doubled, enriching all the warlords, who will be almost impossible to dislodge without resuming combat operations.   We have started a six-front 100-year war.
