Actually you guys do know that Karzai was a CIA operative during the soviet war?

His brother is on the CIA payroll even today. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/world/asia/28intel.html

And he is also the biggest drug boss in Afghanistan. The people who link the CIA with the drug trade do it for a reason.

They've been running the drugs with impunity ever since 9 11...

I am a Pakistani and I know that my country has become the nation with the largest addict population in the world since 9 11...

By some estimates, we send an estimated 4 billion USD per year in direct illegal drug money to these guys.

The indirect loss (Lost earnings) is probably in the 10s of billions of dollars... All of this for 2 billion USD per year in aid; which comes to 8 USD per Pakistani per Year...

We've deployed an armed force of over 160,000 along the border with Afghanistan, have casualties which are double those of nato for both Afghanistan and Iraq; have paid with blood of our citizens, soldiers generals and intelligence services.

We've had more attacks in Pakistan than Afghanistan during the last year.

Yet we have the dubious honor of being accused of working with the enemy by ideologues and misinformed people in the US.

This is just further insight into the inner workings of Americas legendary meddling in the affairs of other nations in the name of our "national security" interests.
