you are speaking from, clearly, but what i do know is that ordinary afghans inside the country are facing the most terrible choices on a daily basis. to quote the country director of save the children, chris nyamandi, he says, parents right now are having to make impossible decisions, which of their children do they feed? do they send their children to work, if they are lucky? or do they let them starve? now, in that context, how can you say to these people that they should be taking up arms and fighting? perhaps the director of that un agency is absolutely right but what the report should not forget is the matter of all this evil is something called the taliban and terrorism, and the death and destruction they have brought to our nation. if they had agreed to a peace process, afghanistan would not have been abandoned. if they had agreed to a peace process, there would have been no grain drain.
