(回答先: イランに対する武力攻撃は容認できない、とインド外務省(インド新聞） 投稿者 近藤勇 日時 2008 年 7 月 16 日 08:21:11)
アフガニスタンのカルザイ大統領は、7月14日、Radio Libertyのインタビューで、隣国イランをアメリカが攻撃した場合、アフガニスタン国土の使用を拒否すると、反対の意思を表明した。
アメリカ主導軍とアフガニスタン軍が2001年、タリバン政権を放遂し権力を掌握して以来、カルザイ政権は絶えず「力のバランスを保つ」ことにつとめてきたとし、「アフガニスタンはどの国との紛争であれ、国土を使われたくない。共通する宗教と言語をもつ隣国、イランとは友好を保ちたい」とカルザイは語った。
また、アフガンにおいて民間人の犠牲者が増えていることにも言及。国連調べによれば、今年だけでもこの６ヶ月間で、700人の民間人が殺害され、うち255人が国際部隊かアフガン軍によるものだ。「これは実際大災厄だ。多くの無辜の人が爆撃で殺されている。この５年間、私は外国軍が我が国を害するのをなんとか防ごうとしてきた。だが望むような結果は出ていない」とカルザイは苦衷を語り、暗に米軍などを非難した。

Karzai opposes U.S. use of Afghan soil against Iran

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan opposes U.S. use of its territory for launching a possible attack against neighbouring Iran, President Hamid Karzai said in an interview broadcast on Monday.
Iran has threatened to target Israel and U.S. interests in the region in the event of an attack against the Islamic Republic which is locked in a dispute with the West over its nuclear programme.
Karzai said his government, which came to power after U.S.-led and Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban in 2001, had always tried to "keep the balance between the powers."
"We are attentive to the dangers," Karzai told Radio Liberty when asked about the possible repercussions of a conflict between Iran and the United States.
"Afghanistan should not become the battleground of differences of any country," he said in a wide-ranging interview. "Afghanistan does not want its soil to be used against any country and Afghanistan wants to be a friend of Iran as a neighbour which shares the same language and religion."
Karzai said his government had facilitated talks between Tehran and Washington, and had also served as a messenger between both in the past.
Washington, which has some 32,000 troops in Afghanistan and is the biggest aid donor to Kabul, has not ruled out military force against Iran.
Meanwhile, Karzai said foreign troops had ignored his repeated calls to coordinate operations with Afghan forces to avoid civilian casualties.
Nearly 700 Afghan civilians have been killed in the first six months of 2008, the United Nations says, 255 of them by Afghan and international forces.
"This in reality is a disaster ... many innocent people have been killed in the bombardment. For five years, routinely, I have been trying to prevent foreign forces from possibly harming our nation. Unfortunately, this effort has not had outcome I wanted, and as the nation expects," Karzai said.
Karzai brushed aside reports about a possible postponement of next year's presidential election due to rising violence.
He said Afghanistan favoured good ties with its other large neighbour, Pakistan, but said there were "elements in Pakistan's intelligence and Pakistan's army" who did not want a stable Afghanistan.
