I am not naming names but quite a few of them came on T.V and radio and  
sang high praises for Mr.Rabanies Shura-e-Na-Ahal while they knew very  
well that Afghan's tridition of Loya Girga was intentionally side lined (  
part of the Pakistani master plan i.e the Peshawar Accord, also know as  
the ISI accord, also known as the new-Gandumak accord, to transform us  
into their satellite ). 

I think that tells the whole story.

So what else is new. There is this treacherous effort going on ( partly  
supported by Iran ) to seperate and divide the Farsi-zubanan from Pashto
Zubanan and a lot of peaple are capitalizing over this new enterprise.

Also following the rise of Masood and Rabani ( also Dostum ) the talk of a  
possible partition of Afghanistan has been introduced and fueled by some  
payrolled agents. I do not know the strategic implications of such a  
drastic change in Afghanistan and do not know why the west seems "mute"  
about such effort but indeed some thing very very fishy is going on. And  
what makes me mad is the fact that those who call themselves intellectuals  
are the forerunners of this effort to break us apart.

Today the dominant principle in Afghanistan is self interest. If you know 
Rabani and Co then your principle is to praise him to death and see if you  
get appointed to a position. If you are Gulbudini your principle is to  
hide the crimes of Gulbudin under the cover of Islam. If you are Wahdati  
then your principle is to talk of Big Brother Iran and all the good it can  
do for us. So as you can see principle is irrelevent in todays politics.
