At the End of His Rope

In the wake of the killing of 16 Afghans by an American soldier Hamid Karzhai has demanded a full investigation of the incident and claims that he is at the end of his rope in his dealings with the US.
We here at the Manor are of the opinion that Mr. Karzhai is talking for the international audience and is not speaking for the Afghan people.
This is evinced by the fact that about a month ago, when the soldiers in Afghanistan burned a pile of Korans the result was Afghans jumping up and down in front of every Western aimed camera they could find and burning effigies of The One in protest, but there have been no such expressions of outrage by the Afghanis over the deaths of 16 of their countrymen by an evil man. The Afghan population just doesn't care. The Taliban does the same thing. It's like the old stereotype about the Chinese: life is cheap. But to burn a book written by an illiterate merchant who misunderstood Christianity and Judaism is unacceptable.
We, in the US, the UK and NATO, are dealing with savages in Afghanistan. They are people. like the Pakistanis, the Iranians and the greater Arab world, better left alone and isolated until they throw a punch at us or our allies. They have nothing but oil to sell us. They have no culture, no inventions, no education and no religion that is worth a drop of our blood.
And despite our blood and toil to put Mr. Karzhai in power he has, because of the evil work of one man in the taking of the lives of those who his own countrymen consider worth less than a Koran, said that he is at the end of his rope in dealing with the US.
Let us hope that when the US leaves that benighted country that it is understood to Mr. Karzhai that he will be reaping the product of his sowing and that he will not be allowed back into the US to run a gas station or sweep out a machine shop. Then he will find that he will be at the end of a literal rope strung up for him by his countrymen. And we won't shed a tear.
