I don't know what it is about this A-hole but we've got absolutely the wrong guy. I'm infuriated because he KNOWS we're committed to stabilizing the country. We need to BOOT his azz but we're too gutless to do so.

Afghanistan's Government Seeks More Controls Over Elections-WAPO Feb. 15, 2010
Some notables- a limit of two women per province elected (68) to a lower house of 249 member house. $100,000 upfront to run for election and refunded only if you secure 20% of the vote or more. No foreigners on the electoral commission. No kidding. Afghans are more than ready to get it right, don't you know.
This is unacceptable. Our executive, legislature, and diplomatic professionals will hope that J.Q. Public doesn't read this. Washington D.C. obviously will but they already know if WAPO does. The rest of us fools will go along in our ignorance-except here at WAB.
Let your representatives and Senators know this is bullsh!t.
