I care because there is one less checks and balances system in place. Though we may not have liked AWK, he did provide a system in which there was a penalty. He did benefit greatly from this monetarily and would have post presidency and if there was a departure of coalition members from the South particularly.

IMHO, the killing has just begun. You won't see it in the MSM because in their minds the Karzai family is the most important one. Just think the same thing about any politician in the US, remove one, another will assume the mantle and it's business as usual. Difference here is, your political opposition won't be smeared in the media, but instead in the streets.

Who did it is unimportant, the fact that he's not around is. Progress could be made now if the remainder of the Kandahar Provincial Council play nice and act as a unified front instead of competing interests.

My biggest concern is still the unchecked security contracts that he held. Do their allegiances go to the highest bidder? Or do they shop for work where they are good at it and add to the ranks of the not so clearly defined insurgency?

These are interesting times ladies and gents.
