One GI's killing spree should not be able to undermine a war effort for which Americans have sacrificed so much.

Thanks for the link. Karzai is such scum. He purposely fans the flames every chance he gets and has said he would stand with Pakistan if it came to the U.S. vs Paki. He is not a friend an ally or anything else we should try to deal with. If we can’t win his heart and mind then we should declare this nation-building garbage an Epic Fail!
