Karzai, a stooge and corrupt president of six blocks of Kabul, in the fiefdoms of Afghanistan. Our man. The Taliban made the mistake of moving fast enough to take on al-Quaida for the USA who mixed them together ever since. The Taliban, created by the ISI of Pakistan to administer Afghanistan and keep it quite puts us into a quandry doesn't it? Or does it? Afghanistan is our base to watch and attack Pakistan as they need to because of the nuclear arsenal there. We shouldn't be there and it just does worse things to people the longer we are there for imperial reasons. Afghanistan isn't really a country. Just a crazy quilt of fiefdoms under one flag.

I can only hope Obama is thinking this realistically. Bill Smale just offered the most enlightened and valid summation of the Afghan situation anyone has put forth to date.
