Most civilians are scared, too. Despite a crackdown by Algeria’s military-dominated government, the rebels continue to fight. They are part of a vicious cycle of violence that has killed 60,000 people since it began in 1992, when the army blocked an Islamic victory in Algeria’s first national election. New elections held in June apparently settled nothing; pro-government parties won a large majority, but the banned FIS could not participate. And although most of its leaders are in prison, the FIS still has muscle in the form of its military wing, the Islamic Salvation Army....

We’ve been in Afghanistan for almost 20 years now. We killed bin Laden almost a decade ago. It’s well past time for American servicemembers to leave the country. The terrorist threat to the United States certainly remains, and we should continue to take necessary action to deter and defend against terrorist attacks.

But we cannot continue decades-long, indefinite troop deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq or in every country where a terrorist organization exists....

“This I-League is very exciting for us. I proposed that the team [should] play in I-League. From my experience in my own country, I can say that these 16 and 17-year-olds will benefit if they play in a professional league with senior players.” “We cannot see the I-League as a platform to get results, but a process where they will gain experience.
