To the Editor:
Missing from the analysis of Pakistan's (or should we say Kayani's?) motives are the aspirations of the Pashtuns. If the Pashtun minority fail to impose their rule on Afghanistan, they may bid for an independent state. Since a majority of Pashtun live in Pakistan, their ambitions may threaten Pakistan's integrity. Until Americans learn to weigh tribal politics, we will be ineffectual in both war and diplomacy in this region.
