Subject: The Economist reports progress in Bamiyan
SGTObvious    7/10/2003 5:15:21 PM
The media likes to portray Afghanistan as a failure- at best, utter chaos surrounding the immediate area of Kabul. But The Economist has a report from Bamiyan that while not rosey-hunky-dorey, is positive. Afghanis in Bamiyan are putting aside ethnic hatreds, old traditions of vengeance and vengeance for vengeance, and seeing the central Afghan government as the rightful resolver of disuptes. They are accepting the presence of troops who are Afghan before being Tajik or Pushtan. Fewer farmers are growing poppies. People are rebuilding homes, repairing roads. Boys AND GIRLS are going to school. The great empty spaces in the mountains where the Buddhas used to be are still empty, and possibly, the emptiness is getting to the locals and bearing silent witness to a religion gone berserk.
