| American Afghans support the war. Wotta surprise. |
| 2001-10-09 |
Afghans living in Boise said Monday they support the American and British airstrikes against the Taliban, even if it means losing loved ones in their homeland. Ahmad Yama Shefa and his family left Afghanistan because of the Taliban. He has lived in Boise for 14 months. His grandfather and an uncle are still in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital. "I don't want them to die, but it's good that the U.S. is doing this," he said. "It's better for the future of Afghanistan. It's better to have a few people die in a short period of time and bring peace than having 100 people a day dying for a long time of hunger and disease." |
