#1 Earlier this year, the Toronto Star reported that jihad incitement was issuing from numerous Kabul mosques. Karzai should be constraining freedoms of speech, association and conscience, where these advance terrorism. Lenin said that the last capitalist will speculate on the very rope that hangs him; Karzai would respect the "freedom" of action of the jihadi who was about to assassinate him.

Damn good observation, McZoid. Karzai's flaccid response regarding imposition of the death penalty over Abdul Rahman's conversion to Christianity showed just how reluctant he is to purge remnant Talibal elements from the Afghan judicial system. It should then come as no surprise that he also refuses to crack down on the typical Muslim crapulence even though it threatens his very life. His buddy Musharraf seems to be having the same problem too. I guess being so preoccupied with mouthing all the usual pious Islamic platitudes makes it real hard to bark out a few harsh orders to your henchmen. Both of these assholes are about to learn the hard way that this "Islam can do no wrong" horseshit has its limits.
