EIN News says, "Afghanistan Cancels 1.3 Million Parliamentary Votes. Afghan election authorities canceled 1.3 million votes in last month's parliamentary election, nearly a quarter of the 5.6 million ballots cast, the country's top electoral officer said. (yahoo.com).
Were there 1.3 million fraudulent votes or did the election authorities fraudulently cancel 1.3 million valid votes? This will not be discernible, but it is clear that big-time fraud is involved.
Are we supposed to be educating these people to honesty? We have tremendous problems in this area ourselves.
The valid answer is we should be concentrating on our own Western interpretation of honesty in our culture. Middle East culture has been what it is for many hundreds or even thousands of years. Their interpretation of honesty is much different than in the Western world.
We will not be able to change the culture of the Afghanis. Get out of there now and leave them to resolve their own problems. If their resolution seems to lead to terrorist activities in the United States, eliminate training camps and terrorist leaders through surgical military strikes.
