Great picture....
Karzai is projected to win this election hands down... the former Taliban member is the American appointee, a former mid-east adviser to Unocal from the days when Unocal was negotiating with the Taliban to build the Afghan pipeline. The US ambassador is another former Taliban supporter, Zalmay Khalilzad, another adviser to Unocal during the pipeline talks. He's also been an adviser to Presidents Bush (41) and Reagan and is a member of the US National Security Council.
It would be interesting to see how much US financial aid was given to Karzai and his 15 opponents for the "campaign". I'd be willing to wager that Karzai had the full support of the people who installed him (the US) and his opponents had zip.
I suppose whether or not that could be considered imperialistic is in the eye of the beholder, or how you define the word.
