NEW DELHI – Despite some last-minute brinkmanship by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the United States and Afghanistan seem to have worked out a bilateral security agreement to govern the 8,000-10,000 (mostly American) troops that will remain in Afghanistan from next year. But Afghanistan remains a source of significant uncertainty – and high anxiety – in an already unstable region.
发自新德里——尽管阿富汗总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊（Hamid Karzai）在谈判的最后时刻依然在耍手段，但美国和阿富汗双方似乎终于拿出了一份双边安全协议，以规管明年继续驻扎在阿富汗的8000~10000人武装部队（大部分是美军）。但阿富汗仍然是这个本来就不稳定的区域中一个重大不确定性——以及高度忧虑因素——的来源。
