:: With all due respect, I am from Afghanistan and so are the people that voted and we understand the terms Afghan and Afghanistan better and we understand the politics involved. The constitution was only written in 2004. Prior to this everyone had their ethnic group on their passport. It will most likely change again because everyone knows we are not Afghans, we are Afghanistani. Due to the conflicts, people chose Afghan in the constitution for unity purposes but that isn't working out so this constitution which has only been here for 3 years will soon be changed anyway. The correct term is Afghanistani and the votes were to oppose the merge, just add up the numbers.
