Thank you very much, all of you, for being here today.
I'm of the belief that we really need to focus on the four pillars of Afghanistan security, having trained, equipped, and paid individuals in the Afghan police, army, corrections, and judiciary. All four have to be there; otherwise we'll have a three-legged stool that's going to collapse.
Secondly, in dealing with the regional working group, I firmly believe, as Professor Heinbecker said, that we have to have a regional working group that we can lead on, with Iran, India, Afghanistan, and three of the CIS states too, as well as Pakistan. How do we deal, inside President Karzai's government and the culture of impunity that currently exists, against a backdrop of warlordism and feudalism that has been the basis of the country for a long period of time?
