It would be satIsfactory, It wont be everythIng we would want, butjust about enough so that they can get the aId, they can have they can get the aId, they can have the money released. There wIll be some reckonIng of that, you know, a more wIdely acknowledged, broad based government, notjust a talIban government. I thInk that Is wIthIn the realms of possIbIlIty, but only If we act very fast help now. If we are vengeful and allow a terrIble famIne to happen, they wIll be no Inference less, It wIll be too late.
