One of the greatest mysteries of post Soviet Afghanistan is the 
origin of the rockets that keep flying into Kabul. I am thinking
of nominating these rockets as the eight wonder of the world.

And therefore the writer concludes that in the tridition of Non-Engineer
Gulbudin-e-Hekmatyar, the Uzbek militia are showing their discontent with
the regime by bombing of civilian targets. Did I get it right ???

Once again   " SAG-E-ZARD, BERADER-E-SHAGHAL "

Both Dostum and Gulbudin deserve to burn, side by side, in Hell.
They have both committed war crimes against Afghan nation are none
but criminals. This does not make Rabani any better nor Masood gets 
any credit since they are as much responsible for the Afghan  tragedy
as their fellow ISI puppets. They all drink from the same fountain.   

And readers please observe:

First came Babak, an Iranian element, with all kinds of news from all
kinds of news agencies in which it was clear to see that Gulbudin was
to blame for rockets. To counter this, Gulbudini elements came up with
this long posting about the travels of Dostum and how he is the one
that is responsible for all the rocketing. 

Which one do we believe ??  	NEITHER.  They are all responsible. The
one things that we, as Afghans, should do is to refrain from playing
into the hands of our enemies. They have created for us Gulbudins and 
Dostums, Rabanies and Mojadidies and have thus divided us into groups.
They want us to cut each others throats for being Gulbudini or Dostami.

We have to show them ( unlike our intellectuals who could not resist
the pay offs ) that we belong to one party and that is Afghanistan,
and every member of this party, this nation, stands united with each
other. Ok, ok I know it is impossible but it just feels good saying
it.

I use my country's name as a symbol of my nationality and my identity and 
my culture. It is what I am and what I will die as. When I say I am an  
Afghan I do not mean that I am a Pakistani or Irani or Arab. Please do not
feed us this  "islamically correct" stuff for we know our religion and do
not need some young colts redefining our national identy and sovereignty.

Thanks but no thanks.

Unfortunately it does not work like that in reality. If Gulbudin had
kept his "criticism" of Rabani to the power system only then he should
have not rocketed Kabul and its citizens with 600 rockets per hour. 

We know too much to fall for your Utopian rose garden. We have seen your
real faces and trust me it is not so fair. Do not use Islam to cover your
tracks for we know that you are using our sacred religion as a tool.
