Well, Looking such a professional and powerful writing increase our self confidant and hope as Hazara that God is helping us through some way to overcome to the all problem we face as a nation in Afghanistan. Our voice is not being hered or lack-hered in the history due to not have internal influence (to political power) and external influence (to international media).

The dominant Pashtoon with the back-support from pashtoon
governament still are continuing invading to the hazaras territories and taking people’s life that was continuing from centuries. Their cruelty has been concealed for 100s of years through Kings while now the media allows us to make our voice hered. While still the Geopolitical location of Hazaristan are a barrier of itself that is surrounded by Pashtoons.

There are tremendous stories of their cruality on Hazaras that the world should know about and that needs profesionals to speak in their language. I appreciate your efforts and wish to see more from you.

To have a network of our pen-holders writing mostly on web in many languages can be much more appreciated that help in synergyzing the efforts. I am seing many hearts beats in the similar patterns and might be able to go on the same track.

The exchange between dream.Dragonfly and Afghan is fruitful. If I can add my two cents:

Dragonfly says:

“Of course we all now, the US intervention in Afghanistan had nothing to do with “freedom” and “democracy”.

“So to insist that Americans shed their own geo-political interest and pay attention to the interests of a strategically insignificant ethnic group does sound idealistic. Nor is there any imperative that they go about condemning every single occurrence of an ethnic massacre.”

I totally agree here. I have never thought that the US invades a country out of goodwill, especially not freedom and democracy. It’s simply not beneficial for the US in terms of the cost-benefit analysis. Moreoever, judging from the US’ past record, the US doesn’t really care about democracy and freedom, especially when it props up the most undemocratic regimes. “Freedom” and “democracy” are simply rhetorical engines to drive popular support and justification for intervention/invasion/occupation. And, “democracy” actually means the “free market” and “freedom” means the freedom to retain a monopoly over the “free” market (which doesn’t really make it “free” after all).

Afghan says:

“It means that after coming to eliminate the Taliban, Bush suddenly got the notion of ensuring that democracy works in Afghanistan.”

Yes, and I think that is because “democracy” is so much a part of our national myth (I am American). Collectively, we like to define ourselves at “democratic” and how we have a “democracy” though we hardly spend time seeing whether we are engaging in democratic PRACTICES, and we’d see that we are not so democratic at all, and even if we have a democracy [albeit flawed], we don’t really put it to use. Take for example the 2000 election that was stolen, the evidence that the 2004 election was jigged as well, the fact that the president lied in order to go to war, has systematically underminded civil liberties, fired US prosecutors, has made illegal measures legal, and what do we get? Nothing. We could impeach, but no one is seriousy thinking about doing that. All we get are Democrats who pass “nonbinding” resolutions. If all this happened in another country, there would be no end in the criticism.

I digress.

So, the US used the notion of “democracy” because that is supposedly one of the values that all Americans presumably believe in. And what other excuse would allow us to invade Afghanistan? As far as I know, we still don’t have concrete proof that Afghan heads of state were complicit in 9/11 (and even if they were, I still do not believe that we should make the civilian population pay the price. There is a little thing called the international court, which, if we wanted to, we could use. But the “democratic” and humanitarian US doesn’t want to).

“Also, please stop going around the internet and labelling people. I don’t call myself an “idealist”; and, for your information, I don’t like people calling me that either.”

You sound like me I don’t like it when people label me, and I also do not like to label myself [though I do call myself a South Asian-Indian American].

nice adventures, I will go through all of them once. Please visit me on http://www.subtle-crystal.blogspot.com/ I am also an Afghan blogging in English.
