Yes, I believe the reporting on this election is good. I agree that Karzai will win a run off election, but do not believe that it should affect President Obama's decision on Afghanistan's policy on troops levels and/or broader policy recommendations regarding Afghanistan. What is in American's best interest should, and must be paramount! Period.
