Now it may not have to

Hi teachers,

In 2008, when Obama said he might include India in the mandate of his AfPak team, New Delhi raised such hell that the matter was dropped. Thus Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. AfPak envoy, refuses to consider U.S. involvement today.

Yet even he concedes that Kashmir makes Afghanistan "more difficult to resolve,"and Washington simply can't afford to avoid if it hopes to leave the region any time soon.

Now it may not have to. The possible resumption of India-Pakistan talks suggests a growing constituency for peace on both sides.

1. Does "he" refer to Richard Holbrooke?

2. What does "Now it may not have to" mean?

Thank you.

Hi Clive,

Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry the word missing is "it", can't afford to avoid it.

1. Does this "it" refer to "can't afford to avoid that Kashmir makes Afghanistan difficult to resolve"?

2. Would this be a little clear to understand what "Now it may not have to" refers to?

Thank you.
