Cool photo with the mountains in the background! Long, interesting history! We don't have anything that old in the USA! Karzai, Abdullah or another one - who will win?
ReplyDeleteDear Leif,
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be clear within a week time from now on. In my point of view, Karzai is going to win for this time as well. He is has more chances to win the election as media and papers say these days.
