| "One Afghan worth a hundred Americans" |
| 2001-10-31 |
The refugee camps are staging areas for Afghanis returning home to fight the Americans. Maulana Gul Achmad Zai, principal of the camp's girls primary school ("but in the way of Islam, not the Western way") is one such expatriate mujahid. He explained, "This is a war between America and Islam, not between America and Osama. Why? Because Osama is not in the villages [being bombed]." Like many here, he looks forward to the end of the bombing campaign and the start of the mountain war saying, "There, one Afghan is worth one hundred, one thousand Americans." Yeah. The Paks said one Pak was worth a hundred Hindus when they fought their little war over Bangladesh. The Hindus tromped them flat. And the Japanese had kinda the same idea about 50 or 60 years ago about the USA. And the Confederacy, let's not forget them. |
