now people far afield as korea and japan, certainly china, india, southeast asia, all the middle eastern countries, and european countries, north american countries, and even countries in south america understand that afghanistan is not a remote place at the end of transportation, but actually the central place of the eurasian land mass, and therefore of interest and importance to anyone living on the eurasian land mass and any economy in the eurasian landmass. there for the third conclusion that i think that we can say with confidence is that the interested parties now are global, and there are many of them. and whenever we hear this week about the afghans riddled by corruption, not worthy partners, blah, blah, blah -- nothing will be as important as these three trees, economic, social, and cultural development will continue, it will be done not two but with afghans and with afghans in centrals, and third, that this will be done with the support and active encouragement of people in many countries, not just the united states, not just nato countries, but globally. it is on that backgrou
