...chilly night earlier this week. A Monday or Tuesday, I believe. I was right by Holyoke Street, just a block from Harvard square. Sweat drenched my brow. My heart was pounding. Two muscular, raging men were right in front of my face. I was pumping my legs as fast as I could, but I wasn’t going anywhere.

For starters, Afghans say he must dismiss corrupt officials, enforce law and order, and use foreign-aid money to build the roads, dams, bridges and schools that he and the international community have long promised but never delivered. This would win back many Afghans and stall the Taliban's advance. But it won't be easy.
