ASOP

That stands for Afghan Social Outreach Program. It is an attempt to create in Afghanistan a variant of Sons Of Iraq. While we will be paying - i.e, bribing - people to join ASOP, it will be different from Sons in that the elders, not warlords, will select the members of ASOP.

Bribery is one way to minimize the conflict in the short term. But what will the long term bring?
