Our knew that treating Taliban as a shadow government. America first had consequences. We either didn't listen or ignored the facts. I don't expect you to m ow any of this. Most Americans don't most of my fellow marines don't. The Taliban offered to surrender disarm and bin laden over to a 3rd party country.

This was brilliant. I wish I had seen it years ago. I’m a former career Australian Army officer who did three tours of Afghanistan, the first in 2002. Later my son also joined the Army and he did two tours. I had always wanted to understand the Afghan tribal system, their approach to Islam, relationships between ethnic groups etc etc. I found this lecture the day the US withdrew from Afghanistan. How’s that for irony. I think God was playing a joke on me.

I spent 3 years in Afghanistan in the late 1970s and another year 1997-98 as a health care provider working with a Nongovernmental organization. I became quite functional in Farsi and had good friends that were Afghan that didn't speak English and were not westernized. I worked with them, traveled with them and spent time in their homes. There's little in this presentation that I would challenge. Time and effort can be rewarding in coming to a better understanding but felt you could never "understand "Afghanistan there are a few points I would like to make with the US withdrawal in mind and the errors that resulted in this 20 year disaster. 1. We taught the Afghans it was about money with CIA personel coming in with palets of US currency. 2. We thought we could win with technology. 3. Placing too much importance in written agreements, contracts, organization and procedures and not understanding the importance of establishing relationships and trust. 4. Success can not be achieved with short term tours of partners. Of course there is much more but I'll stop here.
@sivansuresh2082 жыл бұрын
Being a South Asian, I could relate to that. White people are perceived as if they have lot of money. I felt the desperation Afghans showed at Kabul airport, was more of an once time life time opportunity to settle down in America and live better lives than fear of dying at the hands of Taliban. At a stand up comedy, an Indian comedian said that biggest social achievement Indians achieve is when they get out of India (and settle down in western countries). Indians settled in western countries, are treated like elites and get higher level of respect and ridicule as well (similiar to ridicules posh people get in UK). I grew up in India. My understanding through Indians about white people is that white people are only admired for their money and easier access to sex life they have. That's the only things Indians wish for from white people. An average Indian do not care about other western values like individualism and respect for other people's wishes to live their lives at their own terms.

yeah, bro. They even know more than each one us.. when USSR and USA was competing over Afghanistan, both of them investigated about Afghanistan, and they used this diversity. For instance, when Dawood was the king, initially he was closer whit USSR, but later for some reasons he tended to have closer political relations with USA; therefore, USSR used another person by the name of Noor Muhammak and killed Dawood and his family. You know bro, it is obvious that our country contains variety of nations and tribes, and I am very proud of it. However, recently, we are separated by name of religion, tribe, language, area, and many other reasons, which is really bad for our future... Though if we raise our awareness, and if we accept each other, we can be great nation again. ..

That's not what the Pentagon interests because this is not what the Pentagon does. The Pentagon is pretty much responsible for the military branch and organising the military. The Pentagon itself does not decide when and how to use the military though and they are not involved in politics. The United States is not a military state. Shown by the fact that the Pentagon can not declare war or even start military operations without approval from the president and congress first. So what you should ask is, has any president ever got such a briefing? And I somehow can not imagine that ever really happend ...

The fucking hilarious thing is that the "conspiracy" he's talking about was probably correct. Also, he's being disingenuous here. He's making it sound like a "debunking" means that Afghanis have accepted that the premise of the "conspiracy theory" is false and act anyways, when in reality they probably just don't find the rebuttal convincing. Who's doing the "debunking" here? Some western journalist working for institutional mass media? Some US army official? If a creationist "debunks" evolution and "proves" that Genesis is a "fact", are you now just acting based on falsehoods if you accept evolution? Of course not. The "debunking" is not convincing and the "fact" isn't actually a fact, that's just a buzzword. The same thing goes for US mass media and universities.

All what he says and doubts are almost true about Afghanistan. But as Hazaras, Uzbek, Pashtun and Tajik we can’t accept these facts and figures, because we desire more authority and power in Afghanistan for our ethnicity, in order to have more power we express us more about population and history or mostly exaggerating and even Lying about our people.

Somali society is clan based, the trouble with Somalia is that in the absence, between the darod, the issaq, etc etc, a common understanding of brotherhood, clanism meant that the only political options of strengths were the extremists of the communists or the Saudi/wahabbi Islamist movement extremists.

Fascinating lecture - what I found really interesting was that almost everything he said applied equally to my own country and my experiences in it. The fragmented society, the lack of clearly defined groups, the unasked and unanswered contradictions, truths that exist because "we say it's true", solidarity against outsiders but returning to old internecine disputes when left alone...I have lived within several different ethnic groups in my country and observed the same issues and ways of dealing with them in all of them. Perhaps what Thomas Barfield describes is actually a clearer way of looking at my own country also; guess where I live!

This helped to make everything as clear as mud, but it covered the subject very well, not long ago I watch a documentary about Afghanistan when Buddhism existed there, the producer obviously understood how to navigate the complex system, by honoring those who were were in charge each step of the way, in order to make his film, that when in whatever region of the country, do as they do, respect their customs, respect the people…and they will tolerate your intrusion with curiosity, etc, no wonder our attempts to change Afghanistan ended as it did…our leaders never really understood Afghanistan complexity, it is what it is, Peace

Good point about Nawruz (Zoroastrian) holiday that Arabs had to recognize because people would not accept other-way. Other fact you forgot to mention that first time in the history of Islam, holy Koran was translated to foreign language and it was tajik (dari) language in Bukhara in order to attract tajiks-afghans-persians and even first Juma namaz was in Persian language. Majority of the Sunni Muslims are followers of Imam Abu Hanafia, his ancestors were tajiks from Afghanistan, Imam Al Bukhari one of the greatest Hadith recorder(?). If you go to Chechen republic they are followers of Sufi Naqshbandi who was tajik from Bukhara. Tajik Afghan Persian world had huge impact on Islam through poetry literature that's why we understand Islam more than just religion it's our poetry literature culture. The word Namaz is not Arabic , or Roza or even celebrating Nawruz as new year and main holiday says a lot.
