1. Karzai corrupt???

this morning I was listening to an NPR broadcast where they were stating all the problems with our occupation and one of the main things was that Karzai has made no attempt to locate corruption in the variouss levels of government.

My first thought was, gauddammm, Karzai is the most corrupt figure in the government and we're just tossing money at him hand over fist. This will never stop until we are out of there and even then the corporations that
are taking whatever oil proceeds will continue to pay funds.

To double check me look at VietNam and the corruption there until we got the hell out and let the people take it over and yes, I realize they are called a communist country but they are a communist country with favored trading status.
