#1 Sounds like Qanooni has been in close touch with the Kerry campaign operatives and lawyers. They are learning too fast about US voting in Afghanistan.

#2 I don't think Mr. Qanooni should concede until all of the votes have been counted. After all, votes don't count until they are actually counted, however exciting it was for people to cast them. Because this is the Afghan people's first excercise in democracy, no shortcut should be taken that could lead to questions later.

We here in America have to wait almost three months to swear in a new president; the system was set up that way to allow time for the most distant votes to be registered before the final tally was declared. If, after all the votes are tallied, Mr. Qanooni or another candidate then protests the results, then we can talk about learning from Democrat practices.

#3 But voting is soooooo hard. I tried to vote for Pat Buchannan last time and ended up voting for this gore person! I need help and government assistance! Now! Send Jimmuah with dough. Where's my FEMA check?
