		<description><![CDATA[Whether the US wants Hamid Karzai for Afghanistan leadership or not is now moot. Karzai’s opponent backed out of the runoff and the country is left with no choice but to accept Karzai’s ‘reelection,’ amidst prevailing speculation of massive electoral fraud. ‘Nearly a third of the votes cast in Mr. Karzai&#8217;s favor in presidential elections [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As one observer noted, ‘The Taliban-led insurgency is increasingly an insurrection against the behavior of the Karzai government—not against the religion or civilization of its international partners.’ The basic concept behind an insurgency, after all, is revolt against current political administration.

		<description><![CDATA[Immediately, the Taliban issued a statement on Friday condemning Barack Obama&#8217;s Nobel Peace Prize. That’s perfectly understandable. After all, they are labeled as US enemy. The group explains that Obama has ‘boosted troop numbers and continued the aggressive policies of his predecessor rather than bring peace to Afghanistan.’ “We have seen no change in his [...]]]></description>
