 "I want YOU to suffer and pay for my excess!"

Former George Bush Sr. crony Hamid Karzai is quickly usurping control 
over Afghanistan for the foreseeable future.  How can you trust someone 
who obviously has greater interest in Afghan energy resources than the 
actual Afghan people?  This is about as respectable as Paul Bremer 
deciding that he should continue to run Iraq.  The Neocon future is 
upon us.

KABUL, Afghanistan July 26, 2004 — Afghan President Hamid Karzai 
dropped a powerful warlord from his electoral ticket after intense 
political wrangling that prompted NATO peacekeepers to beef up their 
presence on the streets of the capital.

 The U.S.-backed interim leader selected a little-known brother of the 
late Afghan resistance hero Ahmad Shah Massood to be his chief running 
mate in a surprise move sure to test this volatile nation's fragile 
ethnic and factional balance.

"I hope the Afghan people will recognize us as a good team and I hope 
the people of Afghanistan will vote for us," Karzai told reporters 
summoned to a shady courtyard of the presidential palace.

How can you vote someone in who basically stole power a few months ago? 
 Atrocious.
