The results have been mixed at best, and no one believes the Taliban will give up as soon as the U.S. breaks bread with them. But the alternative--endless conflict and occupation--is worse. The next President will take office in an age of dwindling resources, diminished U.S. influence and a public weary of war. Invoking John F.

As the two eased in and out of darkness with a series of quirky arm contractions in repetition, the beautiful Arvo Part music pulsated, carving Kowroski and Evans as agents...
