Hamid Karzai - Problem or Solution?

Abstract

This paper's goal is to examine the Presidency of Hamid Karzai, and draw conclusions as to how the United States should treat his Presidency. He has a long history in politics in his country and internationally. He appears fully qualified to be a successful President in Afghanistan. However, he was recently re-elected as the President of Afghanistan under a cloud of suspect circumstances. Friends and family members continue to undermine his legitimacy and the legitimacy of the Afghan government. This paper attempts to look at his qualifications, his history, and his decision record and proposes appropriate suggestions for US policies towards him and his government.
