Agreed. Both existing appraoches have had some modest sucesses in some places, and spectacular failures in others. I suspect that where either has had any success, it's been because the people planning the strategy thought very carefully about what was the "best" approach in those precise circumstances, and how "best" to implement it (bearing in mind that "best" may not be very good), and got lots of good information both on the situation and on what was possible in terms of their own resources. Either that or sheer luck.
