The end of the 'forever war' in Afghanistan?

BBC:
The US and the Taliban have signed an "agreement for bringing peace" to Afghanistan after more than 18 years of conflict.

The US and Nato allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months if the militants uphold the deal.

President Trump said it had been a "long and hard journey" in Afghanistan. "It's time after all these years to bring our people back home," he said.

Talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban are due to follow.

Under the agreement, the militants also agreed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control.
...
Whether they will abide by the agreement is the reason why there is a long time frame for the eventual movement of US troops.  President Trump has been pushing for an end to the Middle Eastern wars.
