FOREIGN POLICY'S TOP 5 READS
Friday, November 14

---------------------------------

#1
DEAL WITH THE DEVIL: A new plan to stop the bleeding in Syria means agreeing to a limited truce with the Assad regime. It’s repugnant -- but is it wrong? <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71zofw.4o97/VGaCucPoQ-jqX1uUA231c target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#2
EMBRACE THE CHAOS: U.S. foreign policy is a mess -- a big, aimless mess. But the only way to build a functional grand strategy is to accept both global disarray and American decline: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71zofw.4o97/VGaCucPoQ-jqX1uVA7512 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#3
ISLAMIC STATE OF MIND: The fight against the Islamic State is forcing the Pentagon to rethink its plans for the future of warfare. FP’s Kate Brannen reports: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71zofw.4o97/VGaCucPoQ-jqX1uWA47bd target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#4
RACING TO BE MOON: Candidates are lining up to become the world's next U.N. secretary general. But only a handful of big powers have a say in who gets the nod. FP’s Colum Lynch reports: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71zofw.4o97/VGaCucPoQ-jqX1uXA0b99 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#5
TURKISH DISLIKE: A Turkish youth group attacked U.S. sailors while chanting, "Yankee, go home!" Why are Turks turning on Americans? <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71zofw.4o97/VGaCucPoQ-jqX1uYA30b9 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:
