#1 This guy worked to develop a "peace keeping" army while we are trying to develop a fighting army while the fighting is ongoing. I don't think a lot of his theories carry over. Even the tribal attitudes are not the same.

#2 Agreed. He also started with a mostly-functioning central with nation-wide authority, and a semblance of a national infrastructure.

There also isn't a 'Pakistan' for a neighbor.

#2 IIUC tis order does not authorize Interpol actions in the US, but it does remove the penalties if the are caught engaging in unauthorized actions. Actions they would never take, of course. Sothen why the order?
