The Pentagon and White House are stylishly speeding up withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. The United States has always made the noise of not negotiating with terrorists. An idea she has rammed into the throats of many who never knew how indirectly desperate she has been to talk to the Taliban. Now, the meeting of Panetta and Karzai proves that Washington is wearied. From Vietnam to USSR's Afghanistan down to Somalia, back to Iraq and US' Afghanistan today, no major power has successfully won any foreign interventionist war outrightly. Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Army should have been an everlasting lesson but Washington is drunk in the euphoria of being the only superpower. Iran should be off her table.
