--------- The only thing which made people suspicious and pessimistic to the government are the deals and agreements which signed hidden and not giving reports or notice to the citizens. Such deals made people change their motivation and view to the government. For example a few days before their was an argument in parliament about why coalition forces are killing the civilians and why the U.S soldiers periodically killed the ANA (afghan national army) soldiers even did not excused? As the U.S army spokesman told to media that it was a mistake but on the other side they should remind that this mistakes harm the honor and the reputation of the Karzai government. U.S soldiers should give report to the government and government has the responsibility to inform the citizens. They should clarify that why they attack on the villages which they have no specific information about the Taliban which attacked from where? Taliban are alike guerilla, they do not have a specific base. This would not...

-------- Recently Karzai has delivered the list of new cabinets which involved mostly from intellectuals and the some of them with communist background, there is a hope for the people for betterment of tomorrow. On the other side people are all aware what is going on in this country. People aware of ANA (afghan national army) and police authorities who directly involved in poppy smuggling and mafia. The interior ministry bases and police bases are diverted to base of smuggling. The mechanism of new management and changes have made no sense in decreasing the number of victims against insurgents in the country. However they are trying to deny their inaccuracies but among the people this is not something like not hide from view. The victim increasing due to lack of an organized management and mechanism. Sadly to say that opposite of common expectations the new cabinet the number of crucial ministry occupied by non-professionals and not adequate figures. There was some which couldn’t get e...

--------- Increasingly suicide bombing and attacks around the country especially in the southern against international and American forces made embarrassed those whom are involved in the game especially the U.S.A. This caused to an ill-considered action against rebels. Military operations against Taliban and Alqaeda are nothing else but propaganda. What got the result of the latest operations and what were the previous operation results if did the operation? Never heard the U.S military operation arrested the insurgents. These kinds of operations not only decreased tension but doubled and changing people view badly. The fumblingly bombardment by U.S and international forces over the villagers in different area made an indignation among the people. This is increasing day by day not only in the southern but spread among other villagers. On the other side Taliban and Al Qaeda are strengthening day by day The U.S military operations this time was a tragic event. According to coalition forc...

---- On the way from Torkham border to Peshawar the car engine caused a problem, and we waited for a long time in the valley. I tried to talk some more with children who were surrounded the car. I couldn’t speak Pashto but a bit. They were asking me about Canadian soldiers in the south. They told me that a Canadian soldier killed their brother who was innocent. I told them I am not familiar with such issues and asked them why they were interested to know such things. They told me; this is our job as a Muslim. I asked bout their education; they told me they are going to the mosque to be trained by a local religious leader. I asked them if they have weapons in their houses. They told me that all people in the Tribal Aeria are armed. It became dark when the car was fixed. The car was like a van. Other cars stopped on the way in front of mosque in the valley. An aged man called every one to get out of their cars and going to pray. Late at night I arrived in Peshawar. On the border while th...

The last five days, I didn’t have access to my Blog while I was in Peshawar (northern Pakistan). I tried many Net cafes in the city, but ISPs blocked Blogger. I heard from someone that the blog service was banned when the Mohammad cartoons made Pakistani Muslims mad. So, I am sorry to those who asked a question, and I left no answer. I was on a short trip to Peshawar. I snapped a lot on the way to Peshawar and while staying there. Peshawar has been a settlement for Afghan refugees over the last few decades. Peshawar was a hub for the growth of various Afghan parties. All wickedness takes its rise from Peshawar. Peshawar was a place for growing up the kernel of Taliban and a good place for ISI to become well-versed in Afghan geopolitics and tools for Pakistan to help the U.S.. The U.S helped the Mujahedin parties to fight against the Soviet Union. Those who were trained and armed by the U.S. are now standing against the U.S. If you go to Peshawar, walls of mosques and homes there ar...

------- My Farsi blog www.kabuli.org was hacked by some idiots. Recently I wrote an article about Sex and Quraan (Muslim holey book), Sex and Islamic society in my Farsi blog. Over the last few days I received lots of critics and warnings. And yesterday I received a message that told me I had to ask God for forgiveness. They warned me to stop writing about Islam. They told me to wait for the results of what I wrote about Sex and Quraan in my Farsi blog. I mentioned a verse from Quraan that gives direction to Anal Sex. And I wrote something about women and taboos in Islamic society. I am not sure how it’s possible to trace and find them. Who enlightens me? So today I am really sad; I lost my posts and I am sad that people who hosted me are not too reliable and secure which I thought they were. Ipaid and asked them to take care of it. It’s very normal that my Farsi blog goes down for almost five hours in 24 hours and I’m really tired of such inconveniences. For the hackers...

Today, President Hamid Karzai announced that his government would build new prisons for detainees transferred from the US detention center in Guantanamo Bay.  According to the media, the U.S military would take back hundreds of Afghan prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The prison for these detainees would be completed within two years, said Karzai.  It is unknown under what circumstances Karzai acquiesced to the US demand to transfer the prisoners, but one thing is obvious: all those who were transferred are now going to be transferred by the CIA rendition operation, snatching people from their homes and villages and transferring them to Guantanamo Bay. It is extraordinary how such things are happening right now, but what would you say when the empire flexes its muscle?
