The answer is in the article, Timber :
"In a report on the foreign policy aspects of the war against terrorism, the committee said it was essential to rebuild relations with allies such as France following the disagreements over Iraq, to tackle terrorism effectively." 
I also have heard this morning on the radio that the warlords are coming back to Afghanistan, and that the Talibans are getting again more and more vocal. Maybe ending a war properly - and completely - before starting another is an option to consider.
EDIT : Not being a "Told you so" kind of girl, but I just read this :
"'European anti-terrorist officials warned that an invasion of Iraq will worsen the threat of Islamic terrorism', as reported by the Los Angeles Times (January 30, 2003)." OK, OK, no hinsight. Is hindforesight allowed ?
