As to Afghanistan...
What part of GO HOME YOU DON'T BELONG HERE... Doesn't Washington get...?
The people in Central Asia...are from a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HISTORICAL AND INTELLECTUAL TRADITION THAN WE ARE...
For example...Washington's OBSESSION with being against "Sharia Law"...Sounds TOTALLY CRAZY AND INSANE to a person from Muslim Central Asia...
It would be like someone saying to Americans...
You MUST reject the British Common Law System on which you have based your society, culture and history FOR CENTURIES...!
HOW WOULD AMERICANS REACT TO THAT...?
