How you get to that broad-based government is incomparably more difficult to work out, but there is also a shared perception that the world outside - even in the shape of the United Nations - cannot impose a political settlement on Afghanistan.
Det er langt sværere at finde ud af, hvordan man får etableret en sådan bredt sammensat regering, men der er også enighed om, at resten af verden ikke - selv ikke i skikkelse af De Forenede Nationer - kan pålægge Afghanistan en politisk løsning.
