Violence is increasing agaisnt candidates in the run up to the presidential election, in which Afghans will also vote for provincial council seats.
Some women are running as well. I'm sure some of this violence has nothing to do with the Taliban and everything to do with various rivalries and grievances, as well as the fact that they are taking place in a society were power has been decided by force for the last three decades.
However it is unclear to me exactly how US and ISAF troops will protect populations. Cordons around towns? Searches? and from what perimeter?
