Panelist Ghulam Ali Ayin, former Afghan cabinet member, said the future of Afghanistan will be heavily dependent on the stability of the Pakistani political situation. Ayin stated that Pakistan's most recently elected prime minister has set a precedent in the Islamic world by being the first woman leader. He credited her with introducing democracy to the region, but insisted that much is at stake with the success or failure of her regime. Ayin continued to say the Pakistani state of affairs with its neighboring country Afghanistan is. basically in control of the Pakistani military. The government in power apparently has an understanding that it is not to inter- fere with the business of the military, and therefore any Afghanistan-relate- d affairs are to be handled by the military-- Panelist Lee Bean, director of the Middle East Center, explained that the Pakistani military has benefited greatly from the Afghanistan conflict through the amount of military aid it has received from the United States.

Her concern centered around the "survival pattern" of thinking which has likely been established in the minds of Afghanistan people. With such a pattern ingrained in their heads, Harouny said, the rebuilding of the country cannot be left solely in their hands. She stressed the importance of U.S. involvement in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Though the United States helped the Afghanistan freedom fighters, Harouny said American policy should change from one of a posture to one of immediate to aid the country.
