A disgruntled delgation that came to visit
with Afghan President Hamid Karzai listens as he addresses their concerns
during a fancy luncheon held at the presidential palace complex in
Kabul. With an increasing insurgency in the south it was too dangerous
for the president to travel there in person so he invited them to
the captial city. Critics feel that Karzai is retreating behind the
walls of his 19th century palace and losing touch with a country sinking
deeper into trouble. |
