The US and the Afghan Election

BBC News: Reports on a stormy meeting between the Afghan President Hamid Karzai and President Obama's Envoy Richard Holbrooke, the issue the Chicago Type election in Afghanistan, in other words the vote was rigged in favour of Karzai. One has to wonder does the Obama Administration under the lessons of Vietnam, the Kennedy Administration got rid of the Diem Regime in South Vietnam and found it self saddled with the War in Vietnam. Lets hope this supposed heated debate is spin by the Obama Administration to show that it cares about Democracy. The Obama Administration should keep its nose out of internal Afghan politics, its like Chicago politics, dirty and deep and they do things differently there, President Obama should recall Chicago politics and keep well out of this election in Afghanistan.
