Anywho, I was thinking, out of sheer curiosity, what if we could talk to a real Afghani? What would he/she tells us? As the book tells us a fair bit about the country and the people of Afghanistan, we could contrast those views with those of the mainstream western public (aka media-hungry people), and to put the cherry on top, get to talk to someone from Afghanistan and get, on his/her own words, a truthful report on a vast collection of subjects. Say, for example, that instead of focusing exclusively on one topic, like the other groups are doing, we sellect a hatful of topics (views on politics, freedom, economy, education, religion, etc) to proceed with.
Seriously, we all agree that the media loves to feed us lies. Most people's views on the eastern world, be it the Middle East or Asia, are very distorted views. Let's demystify Afghanistan, shall we?

yay! *bounces*
we won't be fed no lies! :D
just a tinny detail- do you know anyone from afghanistan willing to do this? well, surely we might find someone over the net.
over the internet, of course. and honestly, i wouldn't mind having to call or e-mail someone in afghanistan. i'll try to get in contact with hessa, a friend of mine from dubai, and maybe she can help me. (i do realise dubai =/= afghanistan, but hey, she's likely in a better position to help us)
also, i'm talking to you on skype JUST NOW, so stfu here :p
just for the record and like i just said to you on skype - we can go to the embassy and ask for help there.
we'll have to see if everyone agrees.
do you guys agree with this?
