The West loses the elections

The Pashtun insurgency in Southern Pakistan and Afghanistan is gathering force and the Western forces suffer blow after blow. The Pashtuns are even attacking Nato convoys now. Meanwhile the elections are a catastrophe. Turnout is 5% in Southern Afghanistan. Only the Northern Alliance are voting and they are all voting for Abdulleh Abdullah (a.k.a. Abdullah Rockety for his own exploits as an insurgent when the invaders were the Russians rather than the Anglo-Americans). Having said which Karzai, arguably the most corrupt man on the planet and the West's puppet, will undoubtedly win. He'll fix it. Which means that unless someone shoots him the West is doomed because he's proved incompetent. Corrupt we don't mind. Incompetent is intollerable.
