#2 I hit Enter by accident, gorb, before I'd done more than type the title. I poked my head in at the O Club to report my stupidity, so hopefully it will all have evaporated shortly after sunrise.

My apologies to everyone. I'll redo this properly when I'm more awake. In the meantime, here's the link that should be there.

#3 Thanks, TW. I didn't read everything, but I found this link in the article interesting!

Here's a teaser:

He urged residents, "Don't send your young people to Pakistan and Iran, send them to the army and the police. I promise you that they will get good salaries, and that they will work here in Helmand."

His message met with some resistance from the crowd.

"Mr Karzai, you are not thinking of us," said one elderly man from Musa Qala. "You are visiting people behind security walls. You should come out to the districts and see what is going on there."

But the president was not receptive to criticism.

"Everyone is asking me to bring them security, but how can I do that if you won't help me?" he said. "I met students at a school. They asked me for security. They did not ask me for new schools."
