Between Karzai (friend of warlords) and Abdullah (warlord).
I guess Abdullah would be considered the peace candidate?
I'm looking forward to the US losing even more face when Karzai cheats again.
Also, for all the talks about fighting terrorism, the US can't help but ensure victory after victory for 'fundamentalists' like the taliban and al-qa'ida. It kinda pisses me off thinking that the US would prefer terrorists to socialists (i suppose that makes sense though, considering it's the world's largest terrorist organization). This country is putting all of our lives on the line with its headstrong, arrogant, and quite ignorant policies and actions.
