Does the phrase, American dream, have resonance for them?
Hamid Karzai: Not for us in Afghanistan, the way it is in America. For Afghans, it’s an Afghan dream. What’s the Afghan dream? Hamid Karzai: To have a good country, a respectable country, a nice country. I was told the other day by a gentleman that the National Democratic Institute in America — NDI — had done a survey in Afghanistan among the common Afghan people as to what was their biggest happiness in the past six months, and almost all Afghans told them the return of Afghan dignity. So that’s the Afghan dream. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It was a great honor to talk to you. Thank you very much.
