Good news!

I'm not really feeling the joy. According to the guy himself, he was just a paper pusher who had few options under the ruling Taliban --- a group he publicly stated were crazy. Since then, he got involved in the nascent democracy we're trying to create in Afghanistan and was lawfully elected to office.

Now he's a victim of political violence.

Just how is terrorists gunning down officials in the democratically-elected Afghan government a good thing? I was kind of hoping Afghanistan wouldn't go down Iraq's path.

I understand that. But it's the same excuse that Germans used after World War II. I was just following orders.
