The BBC has a good reputation for being unbiased and that comes through in this article. The BBC is updating the public on a situation that has been in the news before. They kept to the facts and didn't lean towards one candidate or another. The U. S. has a lot at stake , because they encouraged the placement of Karzai the first time around. Whatever transpires could have far reaching effects for the U. S. and our troops that are already in the area. I will be interested to see what happens in the next few weeks.
