During the September 11th week, I always think of Masood, in Afghanistan. He was a tremendous force in the resistence against the Taliban. And some people rightly assumed that his assassination meant that something big was in the works. Then September 11th happened. Afghanistan is rebuilding without this courageous man, but I often wonder what it would have looked like, today if he was the President, instead of Karzi.

From things I have read about Masood, I think Afghanistan would have been better off with him.
However, this is not to denigrate Karzai...
He really stepped up to the plate when it mattered.
