“I do not know who is the president of Afghanistan is.”

Do you Recognize the term Pashtun?

“I do not recognize the term actually.”

It is accurate to think about has Afghanistan as muslim country. For our purposes it is even more affected to think about it postured country.

Thomas Barfield – (AIAS President) : The main group in Afghanistan as the questions constituting perhaps. Forty percent of the population on they were belong the Pakistan border.

Anand Gopal – (Journalist) : If you go to the board area of the south this is the passion hard line.

You feel to understand the essential principle of what’s called Pashtunwali, which is something like Pashtun Messed — .Do not invade my women’s dressing room. Do not invade my house. Do not invade my complex. Do not invade my village. Do not invade my — . We have done all of those things.

Erica Gaston – (Hinningson Fellow) : When they lost a family member. They lost a home and some our injured. Afghans immediately expect an apology and they expect compensation.

There are things that we consider to be, not particularly important of with the Afghans see as potentially violating their honor code and hence. It’s easy way to you know to make enemies particularly if you’re unfamiliar with this, you might not even know it each year you’re doing it. There is a Taliban that is one thing, and al qaeda is something very different.

Erica Gaston – (Hinningson Fellow) : they see international forces as having come to their country promises peace and aid and what they most often series samples where the aid hasn’t gotten to them

Robert Pape – (Univ. of Chicago) : it’s the American military by our own leaders words thats guaranteeing the security of the Afghan government in Afghanistan so very bad thing to promise what can’t or what deliver.

We need to remind ourselves we are not afghani, we’re sending hundreds of thousands of people into these countries who do not share the religion. Who do not understand the culture. Who do not have kinship relations with local people and who do not even speak that language. Just because it’s complicated doesn’t mean the you can’t understand it.
