		<description>Thanks Khalil for turning me on to Kathleen Parker.
 
I will use my words given the chance to expose her. 

For a long time maybe 40 years in the US the Template for an American woman portrayed in the US Media was woman acting like a man. Hillery Clinton comes to my mind. 

Now what we have in the last twenty years is brain dead mostly or kinda  blond bimbos who cannot think past conservative talking points. She is a Sarah Palin who can write and that is about it.

Thanks</description>

		<description>Mr. Anwar

If you go under our 24 nonmilitary solutions in the following link:
 http://newworldstrategiescoalition.org/Home_Page.php
Under the &quot;integrative studies&quot; you will see the list. A few have been solved, the rest are still under work by our team. 
Due to lack of budget we are unable to study further but this is more or less the foundation for the solutions.  

As I mentioned in my article About Khalilzad; who definitely paints himself as a saint and Dr. Zadran who also shares my view has made the assertion that this is the best approach by assaulting him using media tool.  
Otherwise he (Khalilzad) can pull another blow by fooling Obama administration for using the &quot;heeling Karzai&quot; bait. 
I therefore moved forward with my jabs just to warn folks of his motive. Unless you have a better solution then please introduce in this forum.  

Thank you, 

Khalil Nouri

		<description>Please send me your 24 nonmilitary solution article.
I saw what Dr, Zadran wrote. 
I suggest that you tone down your jabs. I agree that his solution is failing big time.

		<description>Hassina Jan, 

You have nailed it right on the head. If all that invasion of the Soviets did not happned it would had been Afghanistan en rout to moderate democratic path. 

West must be always blamed for any wrong decision about Afghanistan proir and post to Soviet invasion. I believe in either case all this mess could have been prevented. But now it is time to pay it with huge money and blood .. 

This is the policy makers fault akin to Mr. Khalilzad who had the high poisiton in all past US administrations since Ronald Reagan and threfore should be held accountable.  
Even the 9/11 is the result of the wrong US foreignn policy that had left the Jehadist intact with arms and money including an adopted home for OBL in Afghanistan with almost high tech training camps. 

Wish you a good weekend.</description>

		<description>Thank you Dr. Burki,
 
The concern part is about the Afghan people and their fate!!

Not long ago ordinary a vast population of Afghans hated the Taliban and their Pakistani masters with a vengeance. It should have been the duty of the international community to ensure that the democratically elected government of Afghanistan is militarily strong enough to defend the country against the Taliban and other proxies of Islamabad. (I am in phase with your thoughts)

There is no room for messing up the country and leave as was the case during post Soviet occupation.  

Nowadays nearly 80% of these Pashtun men say that they are often or always angry, a doubling of this response from one year ago. Nearly half are specifically furious at NATO (over &quot;occupation, civilian casualties and night raids&quot;) and over a third are upset at war and instability (likely also blamed on NATO). Only 9 percent say they are angry with the Taliban! 
In addition, what makes the people disillusioned that the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan was not some sort of accident. Over a hundred thousand troops and two hundred thousand military contractors it did not take a wrong turn in the fog and ended up in Afghanistan.  

The ordinary literate cannot comprehend this notion of occupation and they perceive this a foreign dominance and occupation akin to the Soviets which ultimately influences their norm, culture and religion. All taken as a quandary, we add many other factors like tribal imbalance, Karzai corrupt government and opium trafficking including warlordim they will all translate into a very complex predicament and not even anywhere close to what world war II was.</description>

		<description>Yup, Pakistan will reap the whirlwind thanks to its obscenely corrupt leadership/elite who has whored itself to every external power with its begging bowl since the &quot;land of the pure&quot; was established. Pakistan is a failed experiment and the people know it. Its only export besides textiles, carpets and basmati rice, has been terrorism (regional and global). It is reaping what it has sowed. What frightens is that it is a nuclear armed state that is imploding...and we all better worry about the &quot;fall out&quot; in our contingency planning.</description>

		<description>Dear Dr. Zadran and Mr. Nouri:
I respect, and admire both of you for speaking the truth. Your words are those of men with nang and your ancestors would be proud of you for this.
What is so tragic about the current situation post 9/11 is that the Pushtuns on both sides of the Durand line have paid a heavy price for the baighairat actions/tactics (use of suicide attacks, for example) of Mullah Omar&#039;s &quot;shura,&quot; HiG, the Haqqani network, Sayyaf, TTP etc that are contrary to Pushtun mores/culture and reflect those of their various paymasters, to include those whose draconian ideology they subscribe to. 
Just the other day, I heard my former colleague, a Jabarkhel Ghilji/Ghilzai tell an audience tales of how the Pushtuns have become second class citizens in their own country being run by warlords and badmashes of various stripes. The persecute “approach” to the Pushtun has now spread to the Pukhtunkhwa region of Pakistan courtesy of the Pak Army and Wahhabi elements. I guess this is supposed to be some form of “collateral punishment” of a populace that has generally been between the devil and the deep blue sea through no fault of their own.  It is indeed ironic that the Arabs, and others, who all love to go on about the phantom “Umma,” that is a figment of their imaginative minds, have successfully managed to divert attention from the fact that it was their haram and zalim acts on 9/11, and not those of the Afghan people, that caused the deaths of so many Americans.</description>

		<description>Reading Khalil&#039;s articles is the only truth that speaks. In case anyone wants to hear the truth. For me is like breeding fresh air. Like Khalil I am a witness of what happened in Afganistan, starting from the Clington and until now. All that created such a mess that is so deep and wide therefore complicated to be fixed. But if the Obama administration just payed attention to such truth and try to change things for suffering Afghan people maybe some relief and hope will prevail. Over the years I witnessed the miracles that no one even imagined could happened, but it did happen, like the Red Army leaving, the Taiban getting defeated. But unfortunately there have always been to many cheating hands playing their dirty games taking advantage and turning things into a bigger mess. I wounder if a miracle will happen again to free Afghanistan from people such as Karzai, Khalilzad and their gangs, plus the warlords. Would that beautiful land with its people be out of so much hardship? It&#039;s possible and still not to late, but things have to happen soon.</description>

This is some more light on Mr. Khalilzad, Ms. Kathleen must be paying back some loan by this lobbying.</description>

		<description>Nouri Sahib, 

I have read your 24-nonmilitary solutions. Thank you for your hard work for what you are doing to help Afghanistan. 

Your alternative solution to this current quagmire in Afghanistan is the only explanation to revert the war torn country back into prosperity and tranquility, as it was evidenced prior to Soviet occupation in 1979. 

More importantly, the genuine bonding of various tribes will definitely be in effect where 70 years of Emir Abdul Rahman Khan’s success will be transformed and nationalism once again to thrive.

We Afghans know that the Afghan tribal structure is enormously complex and far beyond the comprehension of the West, and I suggest as an exclusive university curriculum that it should be focused under the subject of “Afghan Tribal-logy”.  

In fact the tribal allegiance depends on the credibility and prominence of the head of state that he should be completely identified and accepted in the hierarchy of tribal makeup.

As history thought us that many Afghan tribes had difficulties to compromise and could not come to a concession for power sharing, and always thirst for such supremacy amid the factions resulted in wars and killings. This moved on for century or so until a Jirgah in the name of “one tribe to rule Afghanistan” was formed, which resulted with consensus that the “Mohamadzai” tribe the most obedient and passive of all was to be given the privilege to rule Afghanistan. This is where the foundation of an Afghan state began and for three centuries dishonesty or sham amongst the tribes was nonexistent. But the inner circle “Mohamadzai” intrigues were embedded within the members of the ruling families and were always successfully resolved.  

Furthermore, as noticed during the “Mohamadzai” reign: warlordism, self-made kings, and any other antigovernment trickery as exist now were absent, and for century plus Afghan nation progressed forward. 


This all ended in 2002 with Mr. Khalilzad who was the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan. 

He manipulated the Loya Jirgah processes and told the press that the organizing commission decided to postpone the opening of Loya Jirgah to ascertain the true intentions of the former King Zahir Shah who was also from the prominent “Mohamazai” tribe. Before the King could make his own announcement, Khalilzad gave the answer:  

“The former King is not a candidate for a position in the Transitional Authority…. He then endorses the candidacy of Chairman Karzai.” Khalilzad and Karzai flanked the King and they were only interested in using the King’s popularity to legitimize Karzai.  

Khalilzad used the former King in the name of symbol of national unity because of the support he enjoyed along the ethnic lines.  


It is well known that, if given the chance, the Shah probably would have won a significant number of votes. Many delegates then felt the highly popular ex-King would probably have had the votes to be chosen for a role in the transitional government, but as mentioned above, he was prevented from declaring his candidacy.  

Furthermore, had the ex-King given the role as the head of transitional Afghan government, which was also supported by congressmen Ed Royce, Dana Rohrabacher and Duncan Hunter of California, then the existent dire turmoil in Afghanistan could have been prevented. 

This was evident that the U.S. envoy was deliberately manipulating the politics of Afghanistan so that a weak leader who depended on foreign backing and who needed to appease the warlords be in charge. 


Is the West once again walking away from Afghanistan?


Moreover, Khalilzad was very instrumental in undermining Afghanistan’s chance for democracy and human right, and helped to cement the political power of war criminals and fundamentalist. His deception and betrayal to his birth country evidenced when he was a former Unocal Corporation consultant and conducted risk analyses for the company. At the time that Unocal was engaging the Taliban on the construction of an oil and gas pipeline through Afghanistan. Khalizad’s willingness to sell his skills to a cooperation that was working with the Taliban revealed his lack of serious concern for the people of Afghanistan. 

In that regards, due to Khalilzad’s assessment we can clearly see a half century plus western involvement in Afghanistan.     
        

Beyond doubt, and as the result, the election in Afghanistan is not working, and the Afghans here in Vancouver, and Toronto believe that it demonstrates a circus resembling “Ali Baba and the forty thieves”. 
 

In final, reading Khalilzad’s article &quot;How to make Afghan votes count&quot;

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8b0ff20e-86b7-11de-9e8e-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1
 
, I believe he again has something up his sleeve by complement Barak Obama. 

He should bear in mind that his U.S. Viceroy days are over and there will be no need for his ill service for U.S. or Afghanistan.
 

With all due respect to all other fellow Laghmanis in Afghanistan, and Khalilzad himself being one, he really knows how to fool the Satan effectively.  He is a con artist that has betrayed his birth country and ignored his code of Pashtunwali as well as placing U.S. in a dreadful current situation in Afghanistan.

    
He is also a homeless man that neither Afghanistan nor America will ratify a position for him.

		<description>Dear Khalil Jan, 

Your assesment of how Zalmai Khalizad made a mess of an otherwise golden opportunity for Afghanisan, is something that historians will mark as the darkest moment of this poor nation&#039;s history.
 
Thank you for showing the true side of Khalilzad.</description>

		<description>Khalilzad&#039;s project (Karzai mafia regime) is coming apart at the seams.  
He can try to spin as much as he wants.  Won&#039;t change a thing.  It&#039;s downhill from here.</description>
