    I agree with your post, except I wouldn't call what the communists tried to do "reform." They were trying to destroy our religion and culture. That's not reform, it's crusading and cultural imperialism.

      There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Tajik, Uzbek, Turkmen, or for that matter a Hazara president, etc.

      I'd gladly take an honest, hard-working, intelligent Tajik over a stupid, subservient, puppet, Pashtun.

      The problem is fascists Tajiks that somehow feel like they are superior (they are a minority); the Tajikam types. No Pashtun will tolerate that, ever.

      A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

      For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


      The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

      -Ferishta, 1560–1620
