...for Hamid Karsai, President of Afghanistan, who seems to go out of his way to annoy and belittle all the foreign countries and organisations which are trying to co-operate with him in putting his country on a stable basis for the future. No doubt there are faults on both sides but to accuse the UN, EU and foreign embassies of masterminding the recent election frauds which returned him to the Presidency is going too far. Nor is it reasonable of Karsai to insist that the US, British and NATO forces should fight the Taliban without causing any collateral casualties among civilians.
