Karzai: Foreigners Should Stop Meddling in Constitution Implementation

2011-01-05

[Tolo News] Foreigners should cut interferences in implementation of constitution in the country, Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai said on Tuesday.

President Karzai said Afghan constitution could be implemented, when Afghans have full independence to do so.

At a ceremony marking the day on which Afghan constitution was ratified, President Karzai said progress made in the country was along with some failures in the implementation of constitution.

"Fortunately, we have had some success in our work in the past seven years, but of course there were some failures in implementing the constitution," Karzai said. "One of our failures was that we couldn't implement district elections based on the constitution."

President Karzai called constitution as a social contract. He said Afghan government needs Afghans' support so than constitution can be fully implemented.

He said constitution could be fully and seriously implemented when politicians, tribal elders and religious scholars are politically committed to its implementation.

Meanwhile,
...back at the ranch...
Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee said constitution should be evenly implemented on all the population.

The first Afghan constitution was ratified in 1936.

Karzai's government approved constitution in a gathering in 2004.

The Afghan government has always insisted on national will, but Afghan analysts believe the constitution has several times been breached by the government.

#1 It was a serious mistake to put this luser in power in the first place. What Afghanistan needed was a western bureaucracy running the place under a MacArthur (PBUH) constitution.

A new Afghan government to replace the western bureaucracy, judiciary, military & police, and business would have to be educated from scratch, in the equivalent of a polytechnic school in Kabul, which would admit only young children of the upper and upper middle classes, set to inherit familial wealth and power; and orphans whose sole loyalty was to the state.

Once that was set up and running, the next step would be to set up a large number of public boarding schools in secure areas of the major cities, with mandatory, western style education for all children in the country.

The only religious instruction would be their four daily Muslims prayers. No sermons. And children could opt out of these at will without parental notification.

The curriculum would be regimented and authoritarian, with a heavy dose of patriotism, nationalism, and an idealized history, with contempt for tribalism and some degree of xenophobia, as well as distrust of both Iran and Pakistan. Religion and government don't mix.

Their school culture should be internationalist, and they should be very familiar with the culture of the US, Europe, Russia, China and India.

Had this been done at the onset, by now these students would be in place, they would be taking positions of power throughout the country, displacing the old power structure.

Yes, to do this we would have to be total pricks, but the end result would be a strong and viable country.
