...Qaeda, the world will assume that we have no other goal than our immediate self-interest. The U.S. must show that it is genuinely concerned about the fate of the Afghan people, and the only way to do that is to strongly support, in both word and deed, the U.N.’s efforts to rebuild Afghanistan...
