Karzai pleads for Canadians to stay in Afghanistan

Kabul — Afghanistan will descend into bloody chaos if
Canadian troops and other foreign soldiers are withdrawn
too quickly, President Hamid Karzai said today, in a
forceful plea for Canadian soldiers to continue fighting
after 2009.

Evoking the civil wars that wracked Afghanistan in the
early 1990s, killing tens of thousands of people, Mr.
Karzai said his country could slip into a similarly dark
period if the Canadians withdraw as scheduled in 18
months.

“Afghanistan will fall back into anarchy,” he said.
“Anarchy will bring back safe havens to terrorists,
among other things, and terrorists will then hurt you
back there in Canada and the United States. Simple as
that.”

The Afghan leader, normally cautious about giving
interviews, made his case during an unprecedented
press event in which he invited every Canadian
journalist in the country to visit his heavily guarded
palace in Kabul.
