Fareed Zakaria points out that Coalition Forces have to work hard to prevent creating "accidental guerillas", in a conflict that seems to be going much less well than many think. However, he believes that the war in Afghanistan is not a "quagmire", and that elements of counterinsurgency warfare can be applied.
