The only people any Aghan government has ever looked after was themselves... ;-)

Karzai, the American puppet, is serving the same purpose for the USA that Najibullah, the Russian puppet, did for the Soviets. They all look after themselves. So do the Americans and the Russians. Self-interest is THE key motivator behind what they do.

The recent Afghan election was extremely corrupt. It cannot be taken as having been a legitimate election, and everyone knows it, but the charade goes on, because the US media wish their people to believe that the war there is intended to build a "democracy" in that country. There's a droll notion if ever there was one.

I'd have been delighted to see the Taliban driven out if I were an Afghan, but I'd have been equally dismayed to see the Americans in. There has to be a better solution than that.
