Hamid Karzai: “The amount of fraud in these elections could easily delegitimize the Karzai government.”

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.

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?

The risks are that Afghanistan will go back into the hands of terrorists, into chaos, into despair. And we are not going to allow that.
