Our pinocchio in Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, has to be getting a little worried as his corrupt government disintegrates before his eyes. Frequent assassinations and assassination attempts are not a good sign that the people feel you are leading them in the right direction. That’s why he is considering an offer from the west to provide him ‘international peacekeepers’ as bodyguards. Let’s hope the Afghan people, the descendants of the great Khans and the Turkic hordes can overthrow this farce.
