A Socio-cultural approach to tribal militancy

Quite unexpectedly, I’ve found myself in an ongoing debate with William McCallister on the utility of pushing a counterinsurgency through the tribal areas of Pakistan. I don’t think it’s really a debate, though, so much as a discussion, as we largely agree—we’re just bickering over (hammering out?) some details. My biggest issue is that he’s trying to generalize from Anbar, which I think is a mistake given the histories of both.
Regardless, it might interest our readers here.
