Both the PPP and the PML-N have said they will seek talks with the militants. In theory, that might be something the U.S. could live with (not that it would have much choice), although it is sure to push for a continuing military role as well so Islamabad can negotiate from a position of strength, says Bruce Riedel, a former...
