I like Afghanistan. I owned a book about it years before it became a popular countries for hot news breaking dispatches, but the latest WSJ dispatch from Af relates that Hamid Karzai has kicked (over or kicked) out the independent elections board.
A real good move, buster. Or does that sound insulting? To say to a president? Possibly I would not get far in Af politics, but, at any rate, it says in this prestigious paper called the Wall Street J that Hamid K -- his father was assasinated but nevertheless I seem to have never heard a good word about him from any informed source -- not the ones that I trust, anyway -- and who mainly seems to think we will like his hat or his green whatever that he wears (honestly, all that I do remember is green) that he was photographed in...
Alright. Sorry. That is a run-on sentence. The point is: persons are very shall we say individual, or non-affiliated, in Afghanistan. Individual or wild or independent or regional or tribal---whatever. It is known as more of a collection of feuding warlords or something. Now here comes K. and he says he is unifying the whole thing.
Oh all right; but, historically shpreeking that's no easy trick.
Man, pol blogs are sure easy to write.
-j.S.
p.s. - right. but the way to do it is by kicking out the independent election overseers. Oh right. So that is the first step towards unifying Afghanistan? What OTHER evidence does Karzai have that "today Afghans are ready to take over the leading role in every aspect of governance........" That's Hamid Karzai's spokesman, Hamid Elmi, reports the WSJ. What does that sound like? Smooth. It sounds too smooth. It sounds like somebody went to an American university and learned how to talk. To learn how to talk like elites. Like he learned how to talk the talk. Karzai is a dignified, proud-looking person, who wants to form a government of Afghanistan. But can he? (and I still say this shit is easy to right) ...So he mastered the American language, big deal. (I'm still reeling from this brilliant insight of mine. Can I please take over America now?)
