Does Karzai want to wait until January 20 2009 for the US to stop killing civilians? I understand he is getting flak from his people but we don't kill civilians on purpose. How can we give the Taliban a pass when they move in close to civilians? Maybe their people should kill the Taliban that come close to them. They all have guns don't they? Or do they, like a goodly portion of the American people, expect the government to save them with no effort on their part?
