During his much touted visit to the Bush ranch in Texas, Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, astounded George Bush by proclaiming that the Iranian position and action in Afghanistan was not harmful, but indeed helpful. The view of the President of Afghanistan is thus completely opposite that of his (as usual) bewildered host. No doubt the ever faithful Bush cohorts, Cheney, Rice and now Gates, will somehow explain to poor George that the Afghan leader knows nothing about the realities of his own nation and that the Bush notion of Afghanistan is far superior to that of Hamid Karzai. The amazing Texas ranch scenario only emphasizes the the Alice In Wonderland character of the geopolitics practiced by the Bush-Cheney-Rice-Gates cabal.
