Deal.

This is coolbert:

If indeed this all be true and works out as hoped for we do have good news.

PEACE IN OUR TIME AFGHAN STYLE!

"US-Taliban deal puts Afghanistan on a path to peace: Khalilzad"

From Afghan Ariana News and thanks to same. And dated only today.

"US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad said that the agreement signed by the US and the Taliban 'puts Afghanistan on a path to peace.'"

A PATH TO PEACE BUT WITH UNDOUBTEDLY GREAT DANGER AND DIFFICULT TASKS AHEAD!

"Khalilzad and Taliban Deputy Leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar signed the deal on Saturday in Doha, Qatar, aimed to bring peace in Afghanistan and lead to ending the long-term conflict in the country and the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo witnessed the signing."

Comments:

* Negotiations for a settlement had been proceeding for a number of years now.

* Low-intensity wars of the Afghan variety often solved by negotiations. The rule rather than the exception?

* American military involvement in Afghan eighteen years now. Low-intensity war ar as more or less continual in Afghan for over forty years now!!

WILL THE CENTER HOLD AND AFGHAN PEACE IN OUR TIME PREVAIL. I MUST ADMIT I AM SOMEWHAT SKEPTICAL.
