Karzai and the interim government that he heads in Kabul is a puppet of US imperialism. Its specific interests, in so far as it has any, must be subordinated to the overall class interests of US imperialist capital. If Chief Karzai likes to eat chocolate doughnuts as opposed to jam doughnuts he may pursue such an interest passionately once it does not conflict with the overriding class interests of imperialist capital. Should his interests pose a challenge to the interests of Washington he will be sent packing as was the Taliban regime.
The more important question is the future of this interim government. As things stand there is as yet no Afghanistan state. Regards Karl Carlile (Communist Global Group) Be free to join our communism mailing list at http://homepage.eircom.net/~kampf/
