Blame for the problems of Afghanistan is widespread. The Pakistanis are at fault; no, the Afghans; no, the United States. NATO isn't stepping up to the plate. Is it the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Pakistan's intelligence service that is pulling the strings? Is President Hamid Karzai powerless, or is he boosting the warlords, or is he a puppet for Americans, or all three? But a large part of the problem is being missed. There is talk about the U.S.-Pakistan-Afghanistan tripartite, but it's the wrong focus. The focus should be on the Afghanistan-Pakistan-India triangle.
