Osama head now worth 25mUS$, that is quite a drooling tempting money for alot of big Pushtun Warlords. I ll tell you a small story about how Pushtuns kill for small sums as paltry as $200. The people who kill are called "Ujratis" I would be surprised if warlords dont throw him up even from the deepest of the caves.
The soccer fields were killing fields Snow Shoe, I was listening to one of these interview by Mutawakil the foreign minister for Taleban, and someone asked him on BBC that we gave you the money to build a soccer stadium to play soccer so that the youth of Afghanistan have some outlet and you have turned this soccer ground into a killing field. You know what that guy replied.
He said I am very grateful for the money that the international agency has given us for the soccer stadium but our priorities is a little different, we have a law and order situation on our hand and for us we would be grateful if you gave us some more money to make a proper killing field so that the youth can play in the soccer stadium!
When bigots rule a nation the priorities get mingled up,Afghanistan is a classic example of a nation stuck up in a pre Rennaissance period.
On fall of Kabul, I felt it was like a jail break. A whole nation was freed from the nation, much as anyone would say that Kabulis are Tajiks and Hazaras but still the Pushtun element could be seen dancing on the road.
Which human does not like freedom. Freedom is more important than even the nicest of luxuries in life.I think freedom of Kuwait was in the last decade very important economically but here the freedom from the hand of opressive Taleban was very special.
I think that although nations do forget act of valor to help them to freedom that many in Europe have, history will note this fall of Kabul as a turning point as far as relationship between civilisations go. A huge price has been paid by America but I am fully confident that every person that has fallen, his/her sacrifice will certainly help to make this world a better place.
