An Afghan boy plays a drum to celebrate Hamid Karzai's victory over Abdullah Abdullah in the Afghanistan's presidential election in Lashkar Gah, Helmand province, south of Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009. President Hamid Karzai promised to stamp out corruption. The image suggested otherwise. Standing at Karzai's side were his two vice presidents - both former warlords widely believed to have looted Afghanistan for years.
