Recent US involvements have ranged in intensity and size from Colombia, which did not put American boots on the ground, to massive interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, which did. The lack of success in Afghanistan and Iraq has tended to dominate the national conversation about dealing with fragile states. Helping stabilize fragile states has been too much of a poorly informed, impersonal, technocratic and conflicted process, dominated by reactions to events and missing a more human approach tailored to various countries' circumstances.
