Reconstituting a ship of state

Our ship of state, which recent storms have threatened to destroy, has come safely to harbor at last.

In Kabul, we have been breathlessly watching a veritable Babel of people of varying ethnic and religious groups voluntarily meet to relaunch the Afghan ship of State. Some 1,600 delegates have been meeting under the sprawling canopy of a Munich Oktoberfest tent, a good way for Germany to continue building its influence in Kabul.

I find this really interesting. I have often thought that their 'Loya Jirga' resembled our olden-day Constitutional Convention. All of this boisterous argument over the launching of the 'ship of state'. I do hope they can decide eventually, carry it out, and see it through. And that they don't dissolve into what they were up to last year. That was like a modern-day 'Dark Ages'.
