Mission in Kabul 

The best choice would be a journalist, an academic or someone who has not been a traditional diplomat but has experience of back channel diplomacy. It is such people who have been successfully avoided all out war with Pakistan during crises and tensions with US and other countries. Will the IFS lobby be headed by EAM himself. It is said that war is too serious a business to be left to the Generals; similarly diplomacy is too serious a business to be left to the IFS.
