pmishra2: thanks for the recommendation, though I'm curious - what article did you read? Certainly not mine... Where you come up with such accusations is either a case of over-reading and seeing what is not there, or under-reading and not comprehending the issues I raise and knee-jerk reacting from your own blind, ideological position.

To imagine Afghanistan is free of foreign forces is a bit naive, afterall it is an occupied country by the U.S. and NATO! Rather than a brain transplant, might I recommend merely opening your eyes.

It doesn't matter that who wins the election because all the powers are possessed by foreign forces.

the elections were a makeshift arrangement.karzai was the natural winner.pashtuns gave him votes regardless of if he is good or bad.abdullah abdullah could not win because he was a non pashtun.

the battle field is USA versus all who oppose USA,Shia Iran versus Sunni/Wahabbi Pakistan and Saudi Arabia,India/Russia/Iran/Central Asian Republics versus Talibans backed by Pakistan/Saudi Arabia.
