Afghanistan Elections Cont.

As reported on the New York Times website, President Karzai of Afghanistan finally agreed to a second round of elections after he condeded to losing around 1/3 of the votes he claimed to originally recieved. I personally think that this is a great step forward for not only the future of Afghanistan but also victory for the troubled US presense in Afghanistan. Having a political administration in power accused of corruption in such a fragile reason was a very large step back, but now atleast it seems the problem has been adressed and temporarily fixed.
