To Leave Afghanistan As A Playground For

Several Million People Inside And Outside Afghanistan Are Destitute And Desperately In Need Of Help.

Somebody Was Asking Me The Other Day - President Bush Is Now Talking About Freedom For The Arab World. I Say, Well, That's Great. I Was Talking About That Fifty Years Ago.

But You Are Absolutely Right That When The International Community Decides To Help In A Meaningful Manner A Country Like Afghanistan, Then Coordination Between The Various Actors That Are Involved In These Processes Is Very, Very Difficult Indeed.

The Events Of September 11 And What Has Happened Since Have Made People Understand That Even A Small, Distant And Far Away Country Like Afghanistan Cannot Be Left To Break Up Into Anarchy And Chaos Without Consequences For The Whole World.

Of Course The Un Brings In A Lot Of Moral Authority.
