No,
I don’t think so.

No, unless the Taliban are involved.

The
Bonn agreement is not power sharing and thus would not lead to peace.
Masood Khan

I don’t think it will work out.

I am not quite sure.

This
is just an American drama and nothing else.

If the government is representing everyone in the country, the plan will
succeed.
Arsalan Rizvi
Edmond, OK, USA
Yes,
if they are serious for bringing peace and their intentions are true.
Mohammad Kaiser

I
certainly think ‘No’. The only solution for Afghan problem was, is and will
be Taliban regime again.

We
can't really predict conclusions so early. However it might be so in proceeding
years.

In my opinion, the Bonn conference was a high-level American conspiracy to set
up a puppet regime in Afghanistan. It lacks support of the common masses
especially the Pushtun community. History has taught us that anything imposed by
force does not sustain long.

It is too early to say anything.
Mohsin

Yes,
I think so.

The
past record of power hungry Afghan leaders is quite tricky. If the US and the
international community will keep on pressurising the Afghan leaders, the Bonn
accord may be successful.
S. Khan

Arabia
The only thing Americans want to achieve in Afghanistan is the government which
favours them.
S.
Mansi

Yes,
being the first step in moving towards peace, it will eventually result in a
peaceful country acceptable for its own people and the international community.
Farhan Khan
Kansas City, USA
Yes, if terrorists are brought to justice. An enforced peace-accord would
bring economic stability.
Charlane Meyer-Miller
San Antonio, Texas, USA
This so-called agreement will definitely not work productively.

Afghanistan will remain devoid of peace due to the their psyche.
Fayyaz

I don't think the power sharing will last that long.
Anayat

I don’t think so. This will only cause long-lasting civil war in Afghanistan
of which the impact will be nothing but devastating for whole South Asia.

I
am not quite sure.

The
Afghan groups who would be sharing power in Afghanistan are a temporary solution for
the Afghan people. The interim government in Afghanistan should pave the way for
the democratic process, and this can only be achieved by holding general
elections in Afghanistan.
For
achieving a durable peace, the government in Afghanistan should be represented
by people representing all factions on the basis of equality.

It
is good they will have no claim that the politicians are worth their name.
FM Endrabi

After 22 years of turmoil, I believe it is the only opportunity for Afghans and
their Afghanistan to get back on track. It is the best available opportune time
and I am happy that at least Afghans have taken the very first step required to
toddle into this direction.
Habib Hemani

It
looks very difficult until the Northern Alliance take control over Afghanistan.

This agreed
establishment may not be able to bring peace and stability to the country but
this will certainly pave a way towards the betterment of Afghanistan.

Keeping in mind their past history, it is very hard to expect miracles from
them.
Baba

I
personally believe that Bonn accord will usher in durable peace in
Afghanistan provided US forces stay in Afghanistan for a considerably longer
period of time.
Fayyaz Awan
Toronto, Canada
No,
I don’t think so.
Nozrul Hussain
London, England
I'm
sceptical about it.
Tughral Turab Ali

I
think its premature to decide whether this accord will work out or not, as of
yet. Looking at the past gives us the clear-cut hint that it won't, but there is
always hope and this time international community is also involved in the peace
process regardless of their true intentions.
Shahzad
Qureshi
Toronto, Canada
No, I
don’t think so.
Javaid Bashir
Milford, NH, USA
Yes,
provided the terrorists are kept out.
Somberi Raju
India
No,
it would not as it is just a cosmetic-like arrangement imposed by the US and
its allies.
Israr Kasana
Maryland, USA
It’s doubtful.
Gohar Bashir

I think the power
sharing agreement reached recently in Bonn is likely to create a lasting peace
in Afghanistan
