The ISI is not Pashtun dominated, but rather Punjabi dominated by the Pakistan Army.
Any unification of Afghanistan has to have a Pashtun leader from the Durrani tribe, not sure which clan though. So the other ethnic groups have to take a back seat and mollified with other positions at the top level.
I think the US should leave Afghanistan unless it has the total dedication to go after the real head of the snake, and of course that is not in Afghanistan.
