May 28, 2010 How disheartening it must be
How disheartening it must be to live in one of the few countries in the world to have regressed by any measure. If Afghanistan is truly the graveyard of empires, surely such examples of a functioning state would not exist. These photos go to show that a "normal" country did at one point exist, and it is worth bearing in mind the self-respect which once went with it as everyone tries to solve Afghanistan's problems.

But then the great Powers included that country in the great games of supermacy and Neo-Colonialism. They started interfering and then it all started. Russians came, Americans came, Pakistanis came, Saudis started pumping money, Egyptians started sending Israeli weapons, and Afghanistan started falling into chaos day by day. Normal Human being kept on suffering and still there is no hope of any progress. Those were the days when we used to Adore American way of life, Jeans, Joggers, Marlboro, Coca Cola, Martin Luther Kings, Freedom, Equal Opportunity, Justice. But now I was recently Kidnapped by Uzbekistan Security agencies on 10-12-2009 and relaesed on 12th April 2010 (124 days). But still I do not Blame Uzbekistan and only blame America for my Kidnapping. If the leader of the world liberals would not break those principles Uzbekistan will not be able to do any thing illegal.

Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole. -AMBEDKAR http://venukm.blogspot.com http://www.shelfari.com/kmvenuannur http://kmvenuannur.livejournal.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
