South Asian and Middle Eastern culture and psychology just seem a bridge too far in many respects. We have plenty historians, theologians, culturalists etc with broad knowledge of these cultures (including plenty natives to those cultures) but they apparently just can't train our analysts and leaders to orient their minds that way.
