I've been watching this in my fifth grade class. I looked it up to do more research. I have to do a report on one of these kids. I'm picking her :D

[1bqpw5gm]

watch that bomb lol

[Qwentry101]

Wow. It is so amazing how much these kids appreciate school compared to the kids in America. I have not heard a kid say that they loved school for a long time. It was nice to hear.

You know, we take our freedom so easily for granted. It's easy to forget that some children face the potential for violence every day they try to get an education. I admire their bravery and commitment.

The Taliban is to Islam what the KKK is to Christianity. Both groups distort and twist scripture in such an evil way... its disheartening to see what happens when organized religion is grossly misinterpreted and then taken to an extreme.

[retrograderenegades]

You know that's an excellent point, I never compared the Taliban to the KKK like that. I love this series I've watched it from the start it's very heart warming to see children living in these types of conditions with such ambition to want to be something great. Suga Fa has been one of my favorites I think she's adorable, I love all these kids I cant wait to see what becomes of them at the end of the series

[muzammilali007]

when are these empty headed taliban gonna understand the importance of education. makes me feel sad when they stop the children from going to school, may be they are afraid that by getting educated they'll refuse to follow their stupid taliban culture.

actully most native afgans and the north of pakistan ( pathans or pashtuns) have anglo features. bown hair, blue eyes and fair skin. i am a pashtun my self and i can tell you that most of my family memebers are like white people. we are very diffrent to other asian people.

[BobagemLixo]

probably Alexander the Great's army passed by there millenia ago. . .

[katynme]

@BobagemLixo he passed by through the South of Iran and through Balochistan in Pakistan. The Pashtuns were not affected by Alexanders army. Not all Caucasian features are due to mixing with white people. And your forgetting that Pashtuns are thought to be descended from Aryans.

[graphicartman]

This video helps to put a warm face on a tragic, and for some an abstract situation.

[Chakdegirl]

I liked it....

[OmarThePug]

I wonder if the native Afghanis digg anglo features?

[angryazngirl]

Probably. Southwest Asia is right up against Europe. Plus, Afghanistan was once occupied by Russia (I'm not sure if that counts or not)

[angryazngirl]

Anglo features seem to be generally desireable all over the world due to colonialism, power and what not.

@aimalkhan123 Bullshit. I used to live in Pakistan(2 years) and most Pakistani's don't look very different from their fellow South Asians like neighboring India. Majority are brown just like Indians. A very tiny minority resemble this girl. Why are South Asians so freakin desperate to associate with white europeans? Love yourself! So many youtube comments are just like yours(claiming white heritage and boasting about light skin and light eyes as if that makes you better than brown skinned people

[sleestack808]
