In fact on page 86 Pane insists that NATO's counter-terrorism strategy "seems to be oscillating between the WM (War Model) and ECJM (Expanded Criminal Justice Model)." The problem is of the 19 nations in NATO, many members see the ECJM model as the best role for NATO and others (the most recent members) prefer the U.S. approach, a more vigorous pursuit of the insurgents.

Pane concludes by saying that the "…philosophical divide between west Europeans and the Americans within NATO over counter-terrorism strategy will persist and in all probability grow wider as NATO digs deeper in Afghanistan" (p. 86).

The article goes into NATO's original mission in some detail, mentioning that it was originally designed to "…deter a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, to keep U.S. forces on the continent and to keep West Germany" on the right track to democracy after WWII.

However they may pose an "unconventional challenge" to NATO and hence NATO should be better prepared for those potential unconventional challenges, presumably including terrorism. What is known by alert observers is that Afghanistan is a very difficult war to fight, and coordination between NATO and the other parties involved there is vitally important to keep the Taliban from re-taking control, as they did when Osama bin Laden was allowed to train his terrorists there prior to 9/11.
