Afghan President Hamid Karzai says the violent insurgency in his country will likely continue for years to come. But in an interview with VOA's Michael Kitchen, the Afghan leader says the attacks are not a significant problem. The greater threat, he says, comes from the presence of regional militias, who fight among themselves and threaten the people they are meant to protect.
President Hamid Karzai says Afghans should brace themselves for continued terror attacks by anti-government insurgents for years to come.

"This fight against terrorism, against those who are trying to cause instability in Afghanistan will go on for a long time," the Afghan leader said.

But, he told VOA, despite the mounting death toll, the insurgency problem is a manageable one, and will not stop Afghanistan's recovery from two decades of war.

"It has not, and it will not stop Afghanistan from achieving what it wants to achieve. That has been shown," Mr. Karzai said.

1. Taliban insurgency for years to come...

Iraqi insurgency for years to come
How are we suppose to support all of this? Afghanistan is the war on
terrorism, Iraq is nothing but a distraction. We need to get our priorities straight.

2. For a second please hold me

Enveloped in a sentiment,
A sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.
