Life without Liberty is far worse than death.

We are not America. We are Afghanistan.

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

The capture of Saddam Hussein has proven to the bad ones, to the guilty ones, to the sinful ones that they cannot run forever. Sooner or later, the other criminals will also be found from their hideouts.

Afghanistan will, by the grace of God, stand on its own feet in three to four years time. Until then, of course, we need strong support from the international community, including the United States, to stay with us and support us fully.

As the country now turns a new leaf, our ambition is to give hope to each and every Afghan.

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