We''re very clear on what we mean and we''re looking to the Afghan government to determine how that should go forward and I think that''s an important element of what we''re discussing, but one element of a much broader, consensual approach, a lot of agreement in the room, about what we should do.\"\u003cbr/\u003e10.

It is a conference that is planning the future of the Muslim world so that the regimes that are still there, the Karzai regime, the Zardari regime in Pakistan, can continue to serve Western interests in the region.

Various of Afghan dissident protest\u003cbr/\u003eMajor world powers opened talks on Thursday seeking an end to the grinding conflict in Afghanistan, drafting plans to hand over security responsibilities to local forces and quell the insurgency with an offer of jobs and housing to lure Taliban fighters to renounce violence.\u003cbr/\u003eAfghan President Hamid Karzai greeted delegates from about 70 nations and institutions in London, seeking to win new international support after more than eight years of combat which is threatening to exhaust public support in the West.\u003cbr/\u003eKarzai on Thursday also personally thanked injured British veterans of the Afghan campaign during a visit to Wellington Barracks in central London.\u003cbr/\u003eKarzai envisions Afghanistan''s government taking control of security in all 34 provinces by 2015, but said he expects foreign troops to stay in his country for up to a decade.\u003cbr/\u003eAnnouncing his plan to lure Taliban fighters back into mainstream society with offers of jobs and housing, Karzai said Afghanistan was moving \"slowly but surely toward the end goals of peace and stability.\"\u003cbr/\u003eKarzai called for support from Afghanistan''s neighbours - especially Pakistan and oil-rich, influential Saudi Arabia.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Moving towards peace, reconciliation and reintegration is what Afghans agree on. 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 will pledge at least 500 (m) million US dollars for Karzai''s programme, but Western diplomats said the money would not pay for cash inducements. \u003cbr/\u003eFunding would be used to create jobs in the country''s police and army, or in agriculture and pay for housing, officials said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn return for its support, the conference laid out a series of anti-corruption moves by Karzai, who is tainted by a fraud-marred election victory and a failure to expand his government''s power much beyond the capital.\u003cbr/\u003eAfghan and foreign experts will join an anti-corruption monitoring team that will make its first visit within three months.\u003cbr/\u003eEU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the international community still backed Karzai - but also wanted him to deliver on his promises.\u003cbr/\u003eNATO chief, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said he expects \"a strong commitment from the Afghan government to improve governance, including a strengthened fight against corruption in Afghanistan.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAs Karzai addressed the delegates, members of the hardline Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir were demonstrating outside, calling for the withdrawal of international troops and the pro-western government in Kabul to be replaced with an Islamic regime. \u003cbr/\u003eHizb ut-Tahrir members condemned the conference, saying it was designed to serve western interests. \u003cbr/\u003eProtests were also staged by Afghan dissidents, who oppose both the
