Who was your childhood favorite Afghan leader?

[Friend]

religious extremists and fundamentalists do tend to have zero respect for systems that stand in their ways.

Not in their way but in the way of Islam. Ofcourse we will resist as any other system does to its opponent.

[Haris]

I have never had one and probably never will.

I was brought up in a household that had suffered enough of war to allow for me to idolise any Pashtun leader. I think of that as a good thing as it means that when I look at Afghanistan, I can do so without a tinted perspective.

If you are not perfect then you are imperfect. No leader was perfect, it is a question of who is the least imperfect. That is subjective. I will not love any Pashtun leader who is not perfect. I will therefore not love any Pashtun leader.
