Afghan Security Forces Surprise Everyone

To the amazement of just about everyone, the Afghan Security Forces managed to protect voters and voting during the elections in Afghanistan.

Make no mistake about it this is pretty amazing stuff. The Taliban, who had threatened to disrupt the elections, were pretty much kept in check by security forces which earned themselves wide admiration for a job well done.

I wouldn't start celebrating the birth of democracy in Afghanistan just yet but this is a pretty good start.
