In a new agreement, the US guarantees indefinite support to Afghanistan in exchange for US military presence in Afghanistan. There will be negotiations about the number of troops allowed and what types of legal immunity they will have. The agreement allows for Obama and Karzai to form a better partnership that benefits them both, and will likely increase Afghan confidence in the future of the country. It could also encourage the Taliban to negotiate a settlement. Additionally, this agreement could change how Pakistan views the US for the better.
