It is very hard to build peace after a country is still divided.I met Afghans perfect Russian speakers. Even you were there they did not complin much.I met for a while few Afghans just talking of US prisons. 20 years of wars destroyed cultural and social order. Might you had more chance to calm Afghanistan than Rambo ever had. Which hearts to win when Globe is over-flood by Afghans? Minds of those still living in Afghanistan have 3 issues in head: how to leave Afghanistan, how to avoide US troops, how to sell only one thing one can sell: drugs. Afghanistan is lost battle.It is start of WWIII. Ride of Swedish run hospital tells nobody is safe.One is safe as long one give service to US and have money US wants. No friends, no memories on aid etc. One is in single second old cloth.
