Are you sure that it shouldn't be expressed in the Future Perfect like "He will have stopped the war in Afghanistan by 2014"?

He'll stop the war in Afghanistan...= He will stop the war in Afghanistan (by 2014)

i just thought of it another way...."He'll stop the war..." expresses more of an intention, whereas "He will have stopped..." expresses more of a definite action, I think.
