Mawlawi Mohammed Islam Mohammadi, who was the Taliban's governor of Bamiyan province when the fifth-century Buddha statues were blown up with dynamite and artillery in March 2001, was chosen to represent the neighboring province of Samangan, according to results posted by the U.N.-Afghan election organizers. Election law did not bar former Taliban officials from participating in the Sept. 18 polls.
:shock:

:roll: That's it,.. let's re-develop countries and establish them as democracies and what are they going to do, vote the same goddam tyrants into office.
Shit, I say we pull a American election special on them, and say "Chuck Norris is your newly elected overlord." and then we torch their opium fields while they try and figure out who the hell even nominated "Walker: Texas Ranger."
...
``Many of the winners are linked to armed groups or drugs,'' said Ahmad Fahim Hakim, deputy director of the state-sponsored Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, referring to a booming trade in heroin and opium.
``The number of elected lawmakers who are honest and interested in reform may be tiny compared to the regional strongmen who are only interested in themselves.''
oh, by the way,..
A bomb also exploded on a main road in the south and killed an Afghan guard working for an American security company and wounded two others. Fighting has escalated in Afghanistan in the past six months, leaving more than 1,400 people dead and raising fears for the country's nascent democracy.
I feel sick....
