On TV today, I heard Zalmay Khalilzad is going to run for president of Afghanistan in 2009. Why don't you do a little reading on him in the links below? He spent more than half his adult life in America, has an American wife, and is a member of PNAC.
Wake me up if this is a nightmare, but suddenly the idea that Zalmay Khalilzad might try to become president of Afghanistan is being taken seriously indeed. That a fierce American neocon might actually try to install himself as the elected leader of a country occupied by American troops might be laughable--but no. What's next? Will Bill Kristol challenge Nouri al-Maliki to be Iraq's next prime minister? How about Joe Lieberman replacing beleaguered Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert?
