Today one of my staff asked me if he can leave an hour early. He said he is off to Metallica concert! Apparently all sort of concerts and events are starting again as it's now officially spring and people are really looking forward to just go out to enjoy.Tomorrow a large part of the city where we live will be cordoned off. The Hague being known as the City of Peace and Justice will be hosting a-day ´International Conference on Afghanistan´. Both the Afghan President Hamid Karzai and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon are expected to attend. Seventy two countries will be attending to discuss how the international community can continue to promote the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan in the years ahead. After three decades of wars and more recently seven years of UN-backed fighting against the Taliban, the end is no nearer. Now the US want to send more troops and even put more pressure on the Taliban. The clear result is that it will squeeze the Taliban out of Afghanistan to start wrecking havoc in neighbouring countries especially Pakistan. The current situation in Pakistan is already quite dangerous. With several daring attacks by extremist fighters in the past weeks and months, Pakistan in on the brink of collapse. It may ended up like Afghanistan. That would be a real disaster.
