My current event is called NATO Backs Taliban Talks: Sign of a shift in Afghan War?  It is saying that the war could be shifting from warfare to plain settlement.  The US and its allies have to open the door wider and think of more options.  They are saying that the Afghanistan President wants to wind down rather than rachet up.

I don't know a lot about what's going on overseas, but to me this is good news.  The war is still going on but the possibility that it is at its climax is becoming more and more believable.  This, I think, will be good news to the rest of the US soldiers and its allies as we have faced enough destruction of troops.
