| 2002-12-16 |
| Source: Xinhuanet An Islamic party, led by the dissident Gulbuddin Hekmatyer, was ready to join in the transitional government of Afghanistan, local news quoted his spokesperson as saying on Friday. As long as they'll let Hek be in charge. He'll find something for Karzai to do, he promises... The spokesperson said that the only way to keep peace in Afghanistan was to put down arms and cooperate and support the central government, The Radio Liberty reported. Hakmatyer, the former Prime Minister who is in Pakistan, and his party have been blamed for terrorist activities in Afghanistan and coalition with the remnants of the Taliban after the announcement that the party is opposing against the government led by Karzai. The spokesperson said that he would visit Karzai in near future. I imagine it'll be the spokesman who's visiting, not Hek. He doesn't have the habit of sticking his own neck out. Nice of Pakland to take him in, though. |

| #2 Hek is a human wrecking crew and has nothing to offer Afghanistan, except an ego trip. I wonder if his Iranian protectors are starting to think of him as a liability? |
