Mustafa, if Rahmat and Ainullah have become your enemies, how would you end the ‎enmity?‎

I would make do good to them.‎
How would you do good to them?‎
I will not fight with them again and will make friends with them.‎

Rahmat, if there is a grudge ( a black-heart ) between you, Ainullah and Mustafa, how would ‎you end the grudge?‎

Ill be friends & do good to them & bring them things.‎
What would you bring them?‎
Apples and apricots.‎

How about you, Ainullah?‎
Hakim, if I had fought with them, Ill make friends again, make peace with them.‎
Ill not hit them again.no more fighting, enough!‎

From Afg, we plead with the American public & the world‎
Make friends, not enemies.‎

From Afghanistan, we plead with the American public and the world‎

As a human being witnessing the current Afghan and international strategy, together with Afghan friends in ‎Afghanistan, I search for hope that we humans will always have room for a less limited creativity.‎

So, we plead with the American public and the world.‎

Please do not solely give a chance to the approach of our fellow human beings from the US military leadership.‎

Please also give a chance to the alternative approaches of our fellow human beings from the ordinary, civilian ‎world.‎

In a global crisis of truth and kindness clouded by desperate voices and extreme violence, please give a chance ‎to test another hypothesis and strategy : that an approach which is primarily non-violent and humanitarian can ‎work, to alleviate our shared distrust and fears.‎

Yes, we can‎

Simply, humanly, if we can make friends and not more enemies, we will not lose.‎

History, reality and sometimes, polls, reveal that our human hearts sense the fogginess of war, that fighting with ‎one another neither lessens our distrust or fears, nor guides us to be truer or kinder. Its fatal human price doesnt ‎make our world any safer.‎

We fight, fight and fightfellow humans die, die and die..its time we win in different and more humane ‎ways. ‎

Civilization has already had sufficient centuries of patience with war strategies. The Obama war strategy in ‎Afghanistan is not new and our patience with it will be patience with an ancient-old, tribal instinct of partisan ‎triumph and revenge for our names, killing in our names. It is an instinct Afghans namelessly understand.‎

If, for life, we dont re-define victory, we need to do so at least for death, because whereas life may repeat itself, ‎death cannot.‎

Im neither American or Afghan, and like the Afghan children in the real-life video, Im neither Republican or ‎Democrat, left or right.‎

I am human.‎

And, grieving in the current Afghan and international tragedy, together with Afghan friends in Afghanistan, I ‎search for hope that we humans will always have room for a less complicated love. ‎

So, we plead with the American public and the world.‎

Hakim,‎
On behalf of Our Journey to Smile, Afghanistan
