    The more we focus on what we think is "good governance" the less likely we are to be helpful to the process

    We need to use our considerable influence not to force our will, but instead to enable (relatively) peaceful evolution of governance.

    We can not embrace change, in other words, until we reliquish control.

    This is the message that we need to carry to the White House. Control-based policies brought us to where we are. They will not take us to where we need to be.

    "The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self."
