Karzai

It's perplexing! This thing where Karzai is declared the winner of the so-called election in Afghanistan.

Some time ago, the UN said that up to one third of the votes cast for Karzai were fraudulent. Then they set up the run-off to appease the brewing unrest. Finally, Karzai's opponent withdrew.

What a smokescreen! I mean, are we supposed to be totally stupid. I certainly do not know all the facts, or even most of the facts, but this whole Karzai thing really smacks of PR game.

And, on top of that, all the major players immediately congratulated Karzai. What a farce! But it is not surprising.
