Afghan president Hamid Karzai is celebrating his 68th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.
Popular politician Hamid Karzai has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 68th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Karzai, a cultural icon
Born in Kandahar on December 24, 1957, Hamid Karzai's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Afghan history. Karzai's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Hamid hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Hamid Karzai as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 68.
Happy Birthday, Hamid, you're the best!
