国际社会一致认为，只有通过谈判结束战争，才能实现可持续和平。世界上最强大的军队打了15年仗仍无法达成军事解决，现在要达成军事解决就更不可能了。任何人都不应期待巴基斯坦在自己的国土上打阿富汗战争。令人遗憾的是，阿富汗各党派似乎脱离了和平只能通过谈判取得的国际共识。没有一方显示出愿意谈判，除了按照自己的要求进行谈判。与此同时，新行为体正卷入冲突。喀布尔
The international community is unanimous in its view that sustainable peace is achievable only through a negotiated end to the war. Fifteen years of war waged by the the world’s most powerful forces could not yield a military solution; a military solution is even more unlikely now. Nor should anyone expect that Pakistan will fight Afghanistan’s war on its soil. Unfortunately, the Afghan parties themselves appear to have moved away from the international consensus that peace can be achieved only through negotiations. Neither side appears willing to talk, except on their own terms.
