"I know it's hard to get new international agreements, but we can't give up." Not unless we want to live - perish the thought - in a world without sashimi...

Last month, after visiting Moscow, U.S. Central Command chief General David Petraeus announced that the U.S. had reached a tentative agreement with Russia on using its territory to supply the Afghanistan mission.
