policemen caught with 124 kilograms was heroin, they were released. they were related distantly because they were related to people kill in the civil war. this is a level of corruption. they have to deal with karzai but this shows how knotty the problem is. is there any way arond karzai and if there isn t, he is the elected president of the country, what can we achieve with him in power? i think we have to accept reamitiy. there are no alternatives and we are in the middle of the war. it is like the kennedies in the middle of the viet nam. they were killed in a coup and the successors were more corrupt than the next. there will not be a knight in shining armor that gallops in
