Ending the War in Afghanistan


For John, BLUF:  I don't think we can kill our way to peace, and we don't want another Killing Fields outcome, so it will take some imaginative thinking to end this.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Boston Globe, by Reporter Mujib Mashal, 3 September 2018.

The origin of the story is The New York Times.

The tone of the story is somewhat down-beat.  We have been there a while, since shortly after 9/11.

The outgoing commander of forces from 41 different nations, US Army General John Nicholson Jr., believes it is time for the Taliban to give peace a try.
