First, we must focus on what is most important – a transition to a post-Karzai system that is seen as reasonably legitimate by all parts of Afghanistan. This is primarily a question of making the elections as free and as fair as possible, and here the United Nations’ role will be critical.
首先，我们必须关注最重要的事情——向阿富汗各部分都能接受并视为合法的后卡尔扎伊体系过渡。其中最主要的方面是尽可能地让总统大选自由公正，其中，联合国的作用将是关键。此外，另一个重要方面是建立广泛的民族共识，形成游戏规则。如果卡尔扎伊可以在任满后保证有序过渡，让其任上所获得成就不致于人走茶凉灰飞烟灭，则可谓善莫大焉。
