the details yet, but it looks like the electrics went fairly well, that there was relatively high participation and relatively low levels of corruption. can we fairly view that result as a reputiation of the taliban? as discussed, it s a different country. it s more urbanized. kabul has grown dramatically. with that said, the underlying ethnic conflicts and tensions are still there. don t forget, we use the afghan militia force, not the afghan army to defeat the taliban back in 2001. those issues are still there. let me say this very clearly. one of the unk sung heroes is the current commander there. he has taken one of the worst possible situations and has continued to make it work. the question now is it sustainable because underlying all of this are the economic interests of the afghan people. right now much of their economy is based on foreign aid and drugs. 30% of the economy is based on the illegal sales of poppies and all the things that go with

zero-sum game. as long as the other stuff is in there. i think, to me, i see it more of a narcotic. just like people, basically, going through their lives, bored or just otherwise apathetic. and i love pandas, don t get me wrong. who doesn t love that panda? but i don t see it necessarily as transformative. i think people are just looking for relief from the everyday stresses, and it s going to be difficult to but you could be surprised, because, if, in fact, then, the networks will do spin-offs and everything, well, what if the panda doesn t have that boamboo? how do these pandas exist? how do we all exist? that s the question. and i ve been following a lot of the environmental issues in china. because, of course, there s this dam building that s going on. and all sorts of parts of china are being urbanized, new cities are i mean, it s really astounding what s going on in china today, with enormous government pushes to subsidize the building of cities, ending
