Its a tough situation there.Karzai govt. is a puppet regime,agreed,no questions about it.It remains afloat due to American money.So,we come to the next part-What other power do we have there? the taliban of course form a challenging power.The common people of Afghanistan are too divided,or too fearful or too unorganized to have their own say,to unite,be it against Karzai or the taliban.
Now we have a situation here,in which we have to take sides.Shall we take the side of the taliban,the same people who killed and tortured many,destroyed the Bamiyan Buddha,conducted public execution of women in stadiums,or Karzai,a puppet regime,but at least an effort to change the radicalism.What do the educated people say?
Changes all over the country,do not take place overnight.When it comes to taking a decision,we choose one from the available or practically feasible options,and don't create some imaginary Utopian state in mind which has no practical feasibility.I will choose Karzai over taliban.Those who choose the taliban should not complain when some these very taliban come for a party to their own home.
