As authentically nasty as Dostum appears to be, I thought that what Ghani had to say about him in an NPR interview last week—that “if [Afghanistan is] going to move forward, we cannot keep excluding people who have a social base in this country. If we treat them like a problem, they become problems”—sounded realistic.

My favorite part of his TED talk is at the end when someone asks him “What is the biggest challenge Afghanistan faces today?” and Ghani responds “You. Your lack of engagement.”
