"Father of the Nation" in infobox 

I don't want to start an edit war, so to reply to your last comment... the title wasn't given by a government since the government wasn't even formed yet. It was given by his fellow Mohammedzai loyalists who had influence over Karzai. There was no vote on this, it was just proceeded by his loyalists and family and everyone sort of went on with you. This title didn't have a function for him, other than providing him with a luxurious life in Kabul from the money provided by Western countries to the people of Afghanistan. But main point, is that it was not given to him by a republican government, a real government was at that time.
