What could be some consequences for Afghanistan if there is a conflict in Iraq?
War in Iraq is a disturbing prospect on many levels. Afghan refugees and squatters all fear the possibility that the international community may turn away from the crises in Afghanistan if there’s a war in Iraq. They are afraid that a new period of disorder and insecurity might reappear, either because the Americans withdraw their troops or because the donor countries decide not to follow through on their commitments to Afghanistan. I think rebuilding the country depends on the support of the international community working in conjunction with Afghans – and not just for one year, but for many.
