To the Editor:
    If President Karzai can't be trusted to participate in the prosecution of corruption in Afghanistan, it is not worth the life of a single American to keep him in office. The U.S. has a long history of propping up corrupt regimes abroad. I can't think of an instance in which this has ended well for us. Rather, we have seen again and again that corrupt regimes are toppled and their backers earn a reputation for imperialist interlopers.
