The Australian reports sources at the NATO summit in Riga as saying they want a high-powered "international fixer" to sort out the mess in Afghanistan.
While NATO concentrates on holding the Taliban at bay, they want backup in the form of a heavyweight political initiative to push through democratic reforms and an anti-drug policy.
"Our problem is that we're getting on with the security and reconstruction, but there's no one person appointed who can make sure the Afghan Government gets on with issues such as disarming the warlords," the senior source in Riga said.
