Fint at det norske forsvaret brukes til å støtte opp om dette regimet. Ikke til å undres over at det ble ampert mellom Richard Holbrooke og Karzai etter valget.
Og hva har dette med homser i Oslo å gjøre? Vel, først av alt viser det en total forakt for demokratiets spilleregler; en vilje til å manipulere med grunnprinsippet om "ett menneske - en stemme"; og en hang til å skape særregler, som vi gjerne vil være uten.
Vårt problem er at vi har temmelig naivt møter slike fremmede grunnsyn med en toleranse de ikke fortjener.

KABUL, Afghanistan Just a week before this countrys presidential election, the leaders of a southern Afghan tribe called Bariz gathered to make a bold decision: they would abandon the incumbent and local favorite, Hamid Karzai, and endorse his challenger, Abdullah Abdullah.
Mr. Abdullah flew to the southern city of Kandahar to receive the tribes endorsement. The leaders of the tribe, who live in a district called Shorabak, prepared to deliver a local landslide.
But it never happened, the tribal leaders said.
Instead, aides to Mr. Karzais brother Ahmed Wali the leader of the Kandahar provincial council and the most powerful man in southern Afghanistan detained the governor of Shorabak, Delaga Bariz, and shut down all of the districts 45 polling sites on election day. The ballot boxes were taken to Shorabaks district headquarters, where, Mr. Bariz and other tribal leaders said, local police officers stuffed them with thousands of ballots.
At the end of the day, 23,900 ballots were shipped to Kabul, Mr. Bariz said, with every one marked for President Karzai.
Not a single person in Shorabak District cast a ballot not a single person, Mr. Bariz said in an interview here in the capital, where he and a group of tribal elders came to file a complaint. Mr. Karzais people stuffed all the ballot boxes.
