Karzai Calls on Timeline to End War in Afghanistan
--------------------------------------------------



Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the international community
to set a timeline to end the war in Afghanistan. Karzai said, “This war
has gone on for seven years. The Afghans don’t understand anymore how
come a little force like the Taliban can continue to exist, can continue
to flourish, can continue to launch attacks.” Karzai also accused the US
and other foreign countries of creating a "parallel government” in parts
of Afghanistan.
