Where liberty dies, evil grows.

If the United States is treating Afghanistan as a sovereign country it has to prove it.

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

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.

Afghanistan will be a brother of Pakistan. Afghanistan will never betray a brother

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.

Once the Afghan people vote and they choose their President with direct, secret ballot from all over the country, there will be a lot of difference in this country and a lot of legitimate power to flow with implementation.
