Presidential elections in Afghanistan: the joke of the 21st century

"Afghanistan’s American and other international supporters have made a democratic transfer of power a precondition for the continuance of extensive foreign aid programs to the country." WHAT? Condition for continuance of foreign aid? When did Afghanistan ever had a decent presidential election under US occupation? The last one which brought Karzai? Or this one?  What do you say about a presidential election where the two sides agreed to keep the results secret?
