November 5, 2004 -- KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan
President Hamid Karzai said yesterday there was no
future for the warlords or drug barons who flourished
during three decades of conflict in Afghanistan. 
Making his acceptance speech a day after being
officially declared winner of the country's first-ever
direct presidential election, Karzai said his vow to
eliminate private militias had clearly won the support
of the people. 

"There will not be any private militias forces," he
said. "There will definitely not be any drug thing in
Afghanistan." 

Karzai, who headed an interim government set up after
U.S. and Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban militia
three years ago, polled 55 percent of the vote against
16 other candidates. Reuters
