British Prime Minister Tony Blair (R) shakes the hand of Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai (L) during the opening speeches at a conference on Afghanistan in London yesterday. Karzai told the war-torn country's international partners Tuesday that any weakness in fighting terrorism within Afghanistan would lead to bloodshed across the world. He told a conference of donors to his fledgling democracy that they had to stand firm in the fight against narcotics cultivation and back his strategy for bringing Afghanistan off its knees.
