I have been earnestly following all sorts of news and hence acts of politics and politicians for well over a decade now, but rarely came across someone as confusing as Karzai. He is clean yet played nepotism and favoritism; he is a nationalist yet goes against the wish of Afghans by not signing the BSA with the U.S.
His term is coming to an end and there is a silent nervousness clouding people's minds. The question that lingers is will his successor at least keep the country together as he did?
The current list of candidates is a optimistic/ pessimistic mix: if the lead contender is a clean guy, his running mate/s are total bozos...
Dr Ashraf Ghani, a renowned international character/ author/ professor/ former WorldBank economist is amongst the candidates. He is smart with ill temper; friendly with the West yet not so much with some Afghans, etc...and there is Dr Abdullah as the second good option, but he too has picked the wrong guys as running mates.
People want clear and effective programs that would bring security and employment. Afghans have suffered, and they are tired...awaiting for a miracle perhaps...somehow, majority of Afghans believe...
