i think ali jalali is a declared candidate for president in the next election and i think it going to be interesting to wat these various candidates run and whether they support or not a status of forces agreement with the united states because it could become a measure of how afghans look at their legitimacy, and what will eventually, some sorting out over whether the u.s. role in afghanistan was helpful or hurtful. but it could become a test of legitimacy in the eyes of afghan citizens, just as it was in iraq. if that doesn't happen, u.s. forces will not stay in afghanistan after 2014. >> suarez: are the common afghans in the streets, in the marketplaces, in the fields, as tired of war as prident obama saysmerinsare? don't they want to see this end? >> afghans are tired of war. there's no doubt about it. at the same time, afghans do not want to go foot of, and to have peace at any cost. so, therefore, the majority of people of afghanistan look forward to this partnership with the united states that can at least guarantee the continued international support in terms offing afghanista
