demockracy in action
This is something i found in the Spanish press today. El Periodico from Spain. Sunday 26th. Translation is mine.
Threats to vote for Karzai.
The chiefs of the Terezay tribe in south east Afghanistan are threatening citizens who vote against the president, Hamid Karzai, of burning their houses. The election is 9th of Oct. The tribe, ethnic Pastún, same as Karzai, number more than 150,000.
O.K. Karzai is an ex Unocal/Halliburton stooge. Pretty much all funds for Iraq pass through his hands. The Terezays are the direct recipients of pretty much all US "reconstruction" money. Anyone else has to grow opium.(which, by the way, is thriving like never before)
Spreading demockracy through fear and intimidation. But apparently the natural gas pipeline is well under way.
