Financial Times informs us that some of the mullahs aren't happy with a US presence in Afghanistan, and view Karzai as "an American stooge."

Well, I'm wondering why we should care if a bunch of Islamofascists are unhappy.

So, they don't find our presence acceptable? Well, we don't find flying airplanes into our inhabited skyscrapers acceptable either, and they'd better realize that we'll stay there as long as we think we need to in order to prevent future recurrences. And if there's a split developing within the Iranian power structure, as this article implies, we need to encourage it.

"we don't find flying airplanes into our inhabited skyscrapers acceptable either..."
May I argue for a bit more intensity, please? I don't find it acceptable for 'em to fly airplanes into our skyscrapers, whether inhabited or uninhabited. But maybe that's just me...
