The first international leader to greet the newly polished Prime Minister David Cameron was Hamid Karzai, the Afghan President. Who thought that he was a rogue assassin, who just looked like the President? Yea, thought so, though I'm sure that Clegg would've allowed a miniscule thought, is that truly Karzai? He looks shorter and scarier in real-life; attired in a robe, solemn head wrap and reeking of insect repellant.
