The author presents his views about US policy towards Afghanistan, what constitutes an acceptable end-state in that country, and how the US can best work to bring it about. He argues that the US should stay engaged in Afghanistan, but that it should scale back what it is doing and what it seeks to accomplish, and aim for an Afghanistan that is 'good enough' in light of local realities.
