US troops should return from Afghanistan – with or without a deal in Kabul to retain a security presence. And progress toward Iranian nuclear detente may give the White House cause to celebrate a rare foreign policy success, even if Congress will still need persuading. - More, Guardian, at: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/27/happy-new-year-what-make-news-2014
