The "problem" is not Karzai. The "problem" is that American politicians lack the courage to face the true nature of our actions in Afghanistan.
The true purpose of our commitment there was to kill Al Queda members and remove the Taliban from power, end of story. This is the definition of the classic "Punitive expedition", such as the British launched so many times.
But American politicians are not able to face the basic truth that our objective was to kill people, wreck stuff, and teach the bearded bullies a school yard lesson, DON'T MESS WITH THE U.S.
Because of their cowardice they find it necessary to dress up an operation that should have been wrapped up years ago, in the PC guise of "Bringing Democracy", instead of giving the true name of wreaking justified vengeance.
Bringing Democracy to a country requires a strong central Govt. This is some thing that Afghanistan has resisted successfully since the time of Alexander the Great. The British spent 200 years trying with out luck to overcome that resistance, how long will Obama have US stuck there ?

I'm sure that Russia has their own version of Charlie Wilson feeding the Taliban weapons as well as the cache of stuff left over from his own little war!
