Times Online - Home: "On a one-day visit to the Afghan capital, Colin Powell stressed that the US remained committed to Afghanistan, and was 'in this for the long haul.'
'They (the Afghans) don't have to hope we will be here. We will be here,' General Powell declared.
General Powell told reporters that the new $1billion pledge would be made at an international donors' conference in Berlin on March 31."
I really hope they stick to their word on this. It would be so amazing to see that country flourishing after so many years of barrenness.
