Keywords:

Could peace in the Valley (Kashmir) bring peace to South Asia?
12/06/2006
Is it better, safer and wiser for the US and the Western alliance to have soldiers on the ground in the mountains of Afghanistan or to find peace through diplomacy and negotiations. Diplomacy that knits together the South Asian region by connecting the dots, bring peace to Kashmir, demilitarization of the India-Pakistan border and redirecting the resources, in the trillions of dollars, to trade and investment inside and between South Asia, US and Europe.

The underlying simmering presence of Kashmir in the India, Pakistan, Afghanistan region, and the need for fresh thinking and starting anew.
12/06/2006
Behind the terrorist groups there is the Kashmir issue. And reports sugest no dimunition in capabilities and thin distance between the intelligence agency and these groups in Pakistan. With cooperation between Indian and Pakistan poice and intelligence at zero a year after 26/11 Mumbai, fresh thinking is needed. For 500 million people in North America and 1500 million people in South Asia these events threaten their economic future, infrastructure and development in South Asia, and economic renewal in North America.

The Pakistan Taliban and the government, military and intelligence services of Pakistan.
01/05/2009
THe paradox is that the US is helping the Pakistan government fight the Taliban and Pakistan intelligence services openly or clandestinely are helping the Taliban. And Pakistan is hedgin its bets and does not want to see India increase its influence in Afghanistan. It may sound crazy but that is the motivation of Pakistan creating the Taliban as it were.

Richard Holbrooke and America's policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan
01/04/2008
Kristof of the New York Times brings out some of Holbrooke's ideas and understanding of the conflicts in South Asia which have never before been disclosed. Holbrooke preferred a diplomatic settlement and reconciliation policy for the region and believed this was the only policy that would work. He saw the emphasis on the military in the Obama administration's approach, first with Gen. McChrystal and then with Gen. Petraeus, as the wrong way to bring peace to the region. Throughout his diplomacy he earned the respect of Pakistanis he worked with, as he worked to find a diplomatic solution similiar to the one he helped build in the .ethnically fragmented Yugoslavia.

The wisdom of Chuck Hagel as America faces difficult choices in South Asia and other parts of the world.
01/06/2008
Chuck Hagel talks about how the US must partner with other countries, to solve common problems we face with other large countries around the world. He says President Johnson told Senator Russell that the Vietnam war was not winnable but he did not want to be the first President to lose a war. He says its not about winning or losing anymore, which is a 20th century response to the new 21st century. He points to the interconnectedness and shared interests of all nations that makes it not ours to win or lose. The situation in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan and the US involvement costing upwards of one trillion dollars by one estimate, and the severe budget deficts at home in the US.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
