President Bush and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, close allies in fighting terrorism, found much to agree on as they completed a two-day meeting here on Monday, with one major exception: the role of Iran in Afghanistan.
Mr. Karzai characterized Iran as “a helper” in a CNN interview broadcast Sunday.
“The president knows best about what’s taking place in his country, and of course, I’m willing to listen,” Mr. Bush said. “But from my perspective, the burden of proof is on the Iranian government to show us that they’re a positive force.”
Could geography and neighbourhood issues have anything to do with that difference?
