4-24-2011: What an interesting, chaotic and difficult to understand country. 3 reasons we are here in Afghanistan: Taliban, Lithium and Threat from Iran. Today a linguist told me that everyone is a Talib here in this country. Now how can we fight every uneducated soul in this country. He also mentioned that Quran burning in US didn't help our mission of winning hearts and minds.
It is poppy growing season. Talibans are busy growing poppy so they can earn gzillions of dollars and buy their weapons to fight our Army. They grow poppy this month and collect their harvest in a couple of months. The linguist was an Afghan who grew up in england. He felt the need to mention the Afghans looting India. However, when I mentioned Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruling over Afghanistan he had no clue about it. He kind of gave me a general impressions about Afghans from outside Afghanistan to be bark dogs who like to show off like many of my fellow Sikhs brothers. He kept of mentioning Afghans as fierce warriors who are not very well trained but if trained can be lethal for human kind.
All Afghanis have seen is wars and they grew up fighting many wars. Infact thats all the kids grew up hearing in a normal household. He mentioned Talibans era to be the best because everyone was happy there were no thefts or crime. But he failed to mention the crime these people committed by not educating the kids and beating their women and being a menace for the other religious communities residing amongst them.
