In a muted victory speech last night, Mr Karzai said the Taliban, who he called "brothers", should "come home and embrace their land".After winning a second five-year term, the president pledged an inclusive government for "all parts of the country".
"Our government will be the mirror of Afghanistan so everyone can see themselves in the mirror," he said.
So the "End State" will be a passive aggressive, islamofascist Afghanistan ruled by "moderate Taliban"?
The Taliban are going to reap a net profit from 9/11, since the new Afghanistan will sport a refurbished infrastructure and will receive subsidies, both courtesy of western taxpayers?
Western soldiers will be put in harms way to protect the Taliban and to secure their rule?
