oh and you think you are the smartest afghan out there, right. tell me something, if you are such a wise person why don't go back to your country and solve its problem? you think you know whats it like to live in afghanistan? where you can't find a single match to cook food let alone finding food. you're residing outside so don't open your mouth and judge these people whos life was sabotged by outsiders. your type of afghans ruined the country. you rub salt in an open wound like ur 1st comment.

Typical profane and angry reaction. That's why Afghans can't get anywhere, because they can't think rationally and they act on emotion.

It may be the white man's disease, but it has certainly spread to the Afghans.

Also, look at Iraq. Saddam tortured the Iraqis before we invaded. Then we tortured them, and now that we are gone they are still torturing each other.
