The time of the colonial officers is behind us

Can the West still do not lose the war in Afghanistan Withdraw is strategically and morally impossible. "Buy" the enemy rather than combat it is an approach that has shown its limits. Is it not already too late to send more troops The number of men required is beyond the more even political and military capabilities of America and its allies in NATO. Nobody wants more die for Kabul. Too, the military and political situation deteriorated in recent months. And this is not a new strategy of engagement of our troops on the ground that will fundamentally change the situation.

The afghan dilemma is perhaps the first if not the clearest illustration of the changes in the international system. Today, as yesterday, nothing can be done in the world without the United States. But today, more that yesterday, nothing can no longer be done by only America. And this is not the contribution of its European allies that will be enough to make a difference. In Afghanistan, is a new world age of multipolarity, which is painfully born before our very eyes. Even if emerging powers have been slow to play the role which will be their future, nothing more to really be without them. That explains our sense disturbing live between two worlds.

If one accepts that there is no possible solution in Afghanistan without addressing the problem of Pakistan, then the political and diplomatic of the India competition becomes essential. It is the India to convince the player key, the Pakistani army, that New Delhi is no longer a threat to Pakistan. On behalf of the regional stability otherwise world a solution must be found in Kashmir. The Pakistani army must be able to devote all its efforts in the fight against the fundamentalist Taliban to Al-Qaeda insurgents. It is an opportunity for the India to justify its new international status and to acquire a strategic legitimacy as well as economic.

In the same way there is no possible solution in Korea North without the resolute and sincere of China's involvement. It is she, and not the United States, which holds key maps to provocations of the baroque plan and mafia of Pyongyang.

What is true of China to the North Korea applies in part at least to the role of the Russia in Iran. Moscow does not hold key cards in the part of liar poker played for years between the regime - very weak - in Tehran and the international community. But without the active and in good faith in Moscow there will really be possible. But if Moscow is concerned about the adventurism of Tehran he welcomed further disorder that this question is for Washington and its allies.

The question of the Iran only serves to highlight the difficulty of the afghan dilemma. The Western world no longer has the financial, or perhaps military means, and even less political will, not more only to impose democracy, but more modestly to defend the most basic stability. In fact, we are more "cultural tools" to understand the complexity of the situations "tribal". The time of the colonial officers is behind us. Regional actors such as the India is before us.

Financial and economic crisis: world has accelerated the implementation of an embryo of global governance through the creation of the g-20. Could the g-20 tomorrow play on plans encour - political and diplomatic role that begins to be his own economic

This course assumes emerging powers less wait, less calculators and more responsible. But it also implies a change in the way that America and Europe on themselves and the world. America speaks of his complete rally to multilateralism, but when will it accept the existence of multipolarity And Europe will become one of the poles of multipolarity

Afghanistan and Pakistan a new world unfolds, a world where the West can and know more do without "other".
