having lived in Uzbekistan for 12 years (and as a lrage proportion of the northern afghan popultaionn is Uzbek, it amazes me that the US/UN/Uk think that they can put in a fully fair electiions into a society where every thing ...has a price and a quid pro quo. the best will be pre-reform Britain ( rotten boroughs et al ) and the process will be used to underline the status quo. It took Britain some 700 years to get wehere we are today( and the vote we have now has only been in place since the 20's and it took the US a revolution . One only has to look at the surrounding states ( Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajilistan and to a lesserr extent Pakistan)to see how "democracy" is fighting its way along a long and tortuous path . I wish the poeple of afghanistan well , but have a sense of foreboding from experience of the result . the path is long , and not smooth.
