I was in Afghanistan for ten months. The country is a backpacker's paradise if not for the insanity of the Taliban, Al Qaeda (Sp-Does anyone know how to correctly spell this as I have seen various versions?), Jihadists and others who have turned Islam into what it is best known for today...terrorism and murder. Most of the people of the country just want to live their lives and be left alone. They live in mud huts and scratch out a living from the soil.
“A liberal paradise would be a place where everyone has a job, everyone is fed for free, everyone has a home for free, and only the police have guns. A place like this actually exists. It’s called prison.” -- Sheriff Joe Arpaio “Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.” – Norm Franz, author of Money & Wealth in the New Millennium
