Another Major Political Figure in Afghanistan Killed

In the last two weeks, three key political figure in southern Afghanistan have been killed. Kandahar Mayor Ghulam Haidar Hamidi was killed today in a heavily guarded government building.

This is another sign that Karzai and his associates should be lenient with the Taliban and other groups against the future peace of a new Afghanistan. There should less reporting and asking for peace, and more direct action taking place - whether it be non-violent resistance or even violence itself.
