Afghanistan President, Hamid Karzai, told Wolf Blitzer that a combination of factors, other than the Newsweek Koran-flushing story, lead to last week's riots:
"What happened in Afghanistan a week ago was really not something done by the Afghan people. It was actually the violence -- the trouble was directed at the strategic partnership that Afghanistan is talking with the United States.It was directed at the peace process that we have of inviting back the thousands of the Taliban to come back to their country. It was actually against the elections in Afghanistan. So we know what was going on there."
More from Karzai on Afghan prisoners that were allegedly tortured to death while in U.S. custody:
"This is simply not acceptable. We are angry about this. We want justice. We want the people responsible for this sort of brutal behavior punished and tried and made public.At the same time, I must say that while we condemn this, we show Afghans, we show the rest of the world that the behavior of two soldiers or interrogators must not reflect on the United States or on the U.S. people. There are bad people everywhere."
Has Karzai finally decided to cut the puppet strings and do his own dance? He's demanding that Afghan authorities have more control over U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. Maybe he's realized that Afghanistan has to take care of itself; there won't be much help. Maybe he's realized Afghanistan has disappeared from the American radar, except for when politicians can exploit it for political gain.
