The worst thing for an effective war on terror is the suspicion of states about the objectives.

I hope (the United States) will change and they will now focus entirely on helping and building a stronger, better Afghanistan.

Life without Liberty is far worse than death.

No foreigner has a place asking another people, another country, to change their constitution.

Afghanistan is a country in need. Afghanistan needs to protect itself in the region; Afghanistan needs to secure itself within the country. Afghanistan needs to develop its forces, and Afghanistan needs to provide stability to the people.

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. But I would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.

The majority of the Afghan people support a strategic partnership with the United States.
