It will be solved and won politically. Part of this is particularly the reconciliation of society in Afghanistan, and this is why a strategy of reintegration is right. One has to differentiate between ideologically motivated, fundamentalist terrorists who are after our lives only because we want to lead an enlightened life, and those who take up weapons for two hundred dollars for lack of another economic perspective. The latter are young men who are fed up with fighting, and we should take this opportunity to provide them with a path back into peaceful society. This is what it''s about. We are not giving a blank check, we didn''t give a blank check, but we promised help tied to certain, clear conditions, and that is in the interest of the whole world and certainly in the interest of security in Germany.\"\u003cbr/\u003e16.

This is the same leadership, the same government which missed the golden opportunity of the consensus among the Afghan people, as well as the consensus among the international community when we started with the process. And today in every aspect of life, the situation has worsened, unfortunately.\"\u003cbr/\u003e23.

We must reach out to all our countrymen, especially our disenchanted brothers who are not part of al-Qaida or other terrorist networks,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Afghan chief said he would convene a peace jirga - or conference - to discuss the proposals.\u003cbr/\u003eInternational allies have said they will pledge at least 500 (m) million for the reconciliation fund - officially known as the Peace and Reintegration\u003cbr/\u003eTrust Fund, and dubbed the \"Taliban Trust Fund\" by some.\u003cbr/\u003eThursday''s summit encouraged more contributions but gave no firm figure.\u003cbr/\u003eUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States would back it if insurgents pledge to eschew violence, renounce ties to al-Qaida and\u003cbr/\u003eembrace democracy after more than eight years of combat.\u003cbr/\u003eFrench foreign minister Bernard Kouchner said it would be \"up to the Afghans\" to decide on the nature of Taliban reintegration.\u003cbr/\u003eTaliban fighters have been taking over wider swathes of the country and successfully attacked the centre of Kabul, power base of the feeble central government led by Karzai.  \u003cbr/\u003eMajor questions remain about the legitimacy and efficacy of Karzai''s government. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was re-elected last year in a presidential vote marred by widespread corruption.\u003cbr/\u003eKarzai''s main rival in the election, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, questioned whether the Afghan leader and his government are capable of reintegrating the Taliban.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is the same leadership, the same government which missed the golden opportunity of the consensus among the Afghan people, as well as the consensus among the international community when we started with the process,\" Abdullah said on Thursday while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.\u003cbr/\u003eBritish Prime Minister Gordon Brown opened the
