The Count in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports on the election count in the Presidential Election in Afghanistan. It seems on the whole that the Taliban/Terrorists didn't really have that much of an effect on the whole, in some areas their threats have worked, but on the whole a clear and fair election for Afghanistan. That is not to say that it would past muster in the West, but then the Presidential Elections in the USA in 1960 and 2000 didn't really pass the smell test for historians. This is the second Presidential Election since 2001, so on the whole not bad Afghanistan.
