ABSTRACT
People in uniform attacking each other, also known as inter-state wars, are dwindling with the state system, and because the wars are too risky for the combatants, they prefer defenseless victims. Leading to a de facto war, the Pakistani secret service, Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI), taken by surprise by Barack Obama ordering a US SEAL extra-judicial execution on their lands. Afghanistan, and Pakistan in general and ISI and the Army in particular, also use the USA as a milking cow—Pakistan to the tune of $3 billion a year or so. Pakistan can probably only survive as a federation with much autonomy for the parts, and as part of a Central Asian community with eight Muslim neighbors including Afghanistan. The more open the border, the more will the Durand wound heal, not by Pakistan or Afghanistan yielding territory to the other, or as a new Pashtunistan.
