Thank you for appearing today.
It's evident from your comments that simply cutting and running is not an option, particularly with the Taliban positioned to return, and to return the same repressive regime they had.
My question is more general. I understand that the Taliban in Pakistan, too, share this concern about the Pakistan government and the interpretation of the Koran and sharia law. They have taken it much more seriously and much more severely. Could you suggest any way, any mechanism within legislation or the constitution or something, that could be worked upon within the governance of Afghanistan to bring out a more acceptable, broad-based modernity or moderation that would be broadly acceptable? I feel that many of the Taliban might accept some of this, too, if it were possible.
