Afghan President Hamid Karzai marked his official reelection Monday with a speech pledging to fight corruption and form a representative and open government, Reuters reports. Reuters: "Faced with stern warnings from Obama, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other Western leaders, Karzai vowed to form an inclusive government. "'My government will be for all Afghans and all those who want to work with me are most welcome,' Karzai said in a nationally televised victory speech. "'There will be crucial changes in our future government. Now we are determined to use all our forces, by any means, to remove this stain (of corruption) from our soil,' he said."
