• India just went 3 years with no cases [of polio]. Pakistan is our toughest location right now because some parts of the Taliban have not allowed vaccinators to come in and have even attacked vaccinators. We are hopeful this will get resolved since no one wants their kid to be paralyzed. I spend a lot of time making sure the polio campaign is doing the best it can. We have great computer models that help guide our activities.

• Iraq broke our back in terms of counterterrorism. There's no doubt about it. The first thing, though, that hurt us was the fact that the U.S. military was absolutely unprepared to do anything on 9/11 - or 9/12 or 9/13. And by the time we actually attacked Afghanistan, al Qaeda and the Taliban had dispersed.

And its stars Tina Fey, out of her comfort zone, just as Barker was a fish out of water when, in 2004, she began covering the Afghanistan occupation for the Chicago Tribune.

• Si echamos un vistazo a la historia afgana, normalmente se han unido para defenderse de un enemigo exterior, y en cuanto eso se consigue, se vuelven y empiezan a matarse entre ellos. Esta inestabilidad interna es una invitación constante a que entren fuerzas exteriores. Tengo que pensar que después de los horribles años de los talibanes, la mayoría de los afganos querrían seguir en paz y beneficiarse de la nueva libertad que han encontrado. Pero no puedo estar seguro de que los viejos hábitos no se reafirmen.

But, after 9/11, women felt more endangered by terror and backed action against the Taliban and Osama bin Laden as strongly as men did.
