The First Lady appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" in a taped interview that focused largely on her advocacy for women and girls in Afghanistan. She encouraged Americans not to forget about Afghanistan, particularly as the militant Taliban, which brutally represses women, is fighting to re-establish itself.
She said what she will miss most about being First Lady are the staff and friends who surround her. Laura Bush says she will mostly 'miss the people'
