To the Editor:
Ms. Rubin's article makes clear what has been unspoken for seven years. The Pashtun minority in Pul-i-karmi--as in Afghanistan as a whole--means to impose their rule on all Afghans. That should be no more acceptable in Afghanistan (where Pashtun constitute a large minority) than it was in South Africa (where Whites constitute a small minority). As a Western-educated and democratically-inclined Pashtun, Hamid Karzai sits in the middle of this conflict. It's more than any one man can resolve, but someone's got to lead, and he has the microphone.
