   |  |n Iraq and Afghanistan, have g-
   |  |enerated frustration and an in-
   |  |creasing sense of failure in t-
   |  |he West. Much of the blame has-
   |  | been attributed to poor strat-
   |  |egy. In both the United States-
   |  | and the United Kingdom, publi-
   |  |c enquiries and defence think -
   |  |tanks have detected a lack of -
   |  |consistent direction, of effec-
   |  |tive communication, and of gov-
   |  |ernmental coordination"－－Provi-
