Bush team girds(get ready 准备) for a daunting（daunt:v沮丧、使气馁，使胆怯，使望而却步） diplomatic endgame（最后地较量，决战）nurturing a stable regime in post-Taliban（后塔利班） Afghanistan.
Building a new government for Afghanistan requires two daunting tasks: bringing together Afghanistan's factions to accept an alternative regime, and balancing the interests of some crucial US friends and some longtime thorns, including Pakistan, India, Russia, Iran, even China.
The need to get the political future in order is prompted（急迫） by a number of undesirable scenarios（不愿看到的情景）. Under one（其一是）, international negotiations are so slow and fruitless that, when the Taliban is felled, no governmental alternative exists in Afghanistan and a vacuum is formed - the very scenario that led to the Taliban's rise in the 1990s.
A second one（第二种情形是） is that, with no broadly acceptable
alternative（没有被广泛接受的选择） in sight, the Taliban manage to
hunker down（As the White House hunkered down, G.O.P. congressional
unity started crumbling。
“由于白宫拒不让步，共和党国会同盟开始瓦解”(时代)） despite the US
onslaught and hold on until the severe Afghan winter sets in,
making its ouster - and the crushing of the Al Qaeda terrorist
organization - more problematic.
But more optimistic scenarios are plausible（plausible adj.似是而非的，有可能的） if several key factors fall into place over the coming days and weeks, some analysts say.
The overriding US interest（目前压倒一切的利益是） right now is to assist in creating a state structure [in Afghanistan] that will ensure this [harboring of an international terrorist organization] won't happen again," says Stephen Cohen, a Central Asia expert with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "That means coming up with a neutral, nonaligned（不结盟的） state, which is something Pakistan and India and Iran have said they would favor. The trick now," he adds, "will be to convince the Afghanis that this is the way to go."

Mr Straw likened（vt.把...比作） the problem to the "Kosovo wobble（n & vi.摇晃, 摇摆, 游移不定, 抖动）" that hit the bombing campaign against Serbia after three weeks in 1999.
“time and patience" would be needed to bring the global terrorist networks under control. It will take as long as it takes. As in any campaign, you can't be precise in terms of duration。
A young girl who refuses to marry the man to whom her father has betrothed(betrothedn.已订婚者adj.订婚了的) her is likely to be (as several of my patients have been) beaten and starved into submission(屈服). Every Muslim girl whom I meet knows of girls who have been done to death for their stubbornness in continuing to refuse: sometimes hanged, sometimes strangled（扼死）, sometimes thrown from the roof of a building, sometimes burnt. It costs a father about ￡5 to put an end to the not very strenuous investigations into the death of a daughter.
