Hamid Karzai: “The risks are that Afghanistan will go back into the hands of terrorists, into chaos, into despair. And we are not going…”

If they want that, then it's a serious mistake. Because instability in Afghanistan will automatically mean instability in Pakistan.

We are a state that was weakened by years of destruction and war and interference.

At a security summit in London, Afghan President Hamid Karzai described his plan to reintegrate Taliban fighters into a law-abiding society if they promise to renounce violence.

I was taken aback. Who are these Taliban that a deal has been signed with? Why can't we find them? Who are their leaders?
