Dayuhan hit the point exactly. The most well thought out strategy in the world will still fail if it is not properly executed at the regional/local level. There are a lot of great ideas out there that do not seem to take that into account. This is a big part of my problem when people start talking about the West and the US in particular not doing enough to "fix" this problem or that in developing world states. The solutions to many or most of these problems are at the micro, not macro level. Few states have the resources, never mind the national will, to devote to that kind of work. None that I have seen have shown any particular talent for it in any case. The idea that a Western power can come into a developing world state or region and implement a "grand strategy" that will fix their problems for them is, to borrow a phrase, a fatal conceit.
