20 years of “global war on terror,” the U.S. still does not grasp very basic, fundamental things about the nature of its adversaries, believing it can compartmentalize groups and geographical boundaries — such as the Taliban and Al- Qaeda or Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq..
when what it is actually facing is a pan-Islamic global crusade whose elements are inextricably intertwined and ultimately control Pak & Iran.This misunderstanding is born of a Western analytical mindset tht struggles with an enemy that refuses to think in recognisable categories
— to whom nation state, nationalism or nationality are anathema. Because Western analysts have made a category error, incapable of understanding that Islamic groups do not identify as anything other than Muslim regardless of where they are located, same mistake is made by indians
