I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

God... if they're trying that in Afgansitan, what will they try when it's Iraq's turn for elections?

Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Good that it was foiled. I hope that the elections takes place without too much bloodshed and that Hamid Karzai makes a land-slide victory.

Yes, so everyone in a place OTHER THAN Kabul will vote for who they have been told to vote for or face beatings/torture/execution at the hands of local tribal/militia/religious leaders.

All so the US can say: Look we've got a democratically elected mayor - shit I mean a democratically elected president.

Don't be fooled into thinking that this election has ANY qualities of a free and fair nationwide poll.
