Well! I can clearly see that you're very upset with Karzai's choice of hat!
And since we all know that a bad hat day can ruin everything in the world of politics, choosing the right hat is not easy!
It's essential for the hat not to clash with the rest of your tribal outfit, personal image & cultural attributes which you are promoting soo hard to
maintain when you shine as a corrupt puppet politician of Afghanistan.
So regardless if you're walking the catwalk naked in your palace in front of all your friends a hazy friday night downtown Kabul - or zig-zagging
through the minefields of corrupt MSM reporters asking difficult questions about your cousin at one of your press conferences - the hat stays on.
Therefore I can not agree with you that Hamid Karzai has the wrong hat on those pictures; on the the contrary, I think that the hat goes very well
with his (hand made by small hands of Afghan child workers) Afghan goat-hair robe and the Afghani upper-class look in general.
They wear these kinds of hats in the region you know
, it's a cultural thing, and the model it's also very popular in nearby regions, like the
Kaukasus!
Therefore I don't understand when you are bashing the Hat-Fashion of Afghanistan specifically?
Instead of bashing the Hat-fashion of Afghanistan like some kind of Hat-Fascist-Fashionista of the worst kind! we should really take a deep look at
the Hat-Fashion in your own country first!
It's also here we can find the biggest hat-conspiracy of them all, even your political parties & leaders are heavily involved.
Here we have a few scary examples of some really bad color coordination with some of the worst cases of mismatching Hat-Fashion I've seen in my
life!
Let's take a look, shall we?

Now we have come to the point where I could say: I REST MY CASE! and end of discussion and so on! because it's clear for all to see that Hamid
Karzai's hat actually is a very nice hat that matches his robe - and if you compare to Howard Dean's yellow hat or that picture of you with that
silly Mickey Mouse hat with Mouse ears (which by the way totally clashes with your Hawaiian shirt) I would say that you have lost the argument -
sorry!
But to fair and to nourish this healthy discussion further, I must say that I never understood what kind of hat you wanted Karzai to wear instead. So
to be friendly I'm going to post a few more types of hats from the rest of the world which you can choose from - hell! I even through in a a potpurri
of lady-upper class-hats from the British Royal Ascot racecourse so we have a broad field of hats to choose from!
So if you could be so kind my ATS friend, to point out one type of hat that you personally would like Hamid Karzai to wear instead of the one he's
currently wearing!
And please! you can't cheat now by saying that you prefer to see him without any hat because that is not going to happen in Afghanistan where they
have a very strict hat code for all bald politicians over 40.
Here's a potpurri of hat models (Other foreign political leaders hats included) :
