Afghanistan's push to tax U.S. contractors could renew tensions
The Afghan government is ramping up efforts to tax U.S. contractors operating there - an effort that could raise millions for Karzai and his hangers on the cash-strapped government but could also provoke fresh confrontation with the United States, according to U.S. and Afghan officials.
Does Afghanistan now have a Democratic party?
In any case, if they stopped "diverting" half of it, they would be just fine.
