That is usually the first accusation someone makes when some one they don't like gets elected.

Good thing that stuff like that does not happen in the USA.......

I wonder if the Afghan government will shut down too...

Oh wait...that would require a government in the first place...

I hope that no one is really expecting any significant changes to come to Afghanistan.

No one learned from the British. No one learned from the Soviets. Maybe, just maybe, future governments will learn from the US -- don't get involved in Afghanistan. Just don't.

One thing is almost certain....whoever wins will only be in power until the troops leave.

More blood shed, no question about it.

Left alone, I believe that Afghanistan could have the best government money could buy.
