"Here at last Asia without an inferiority complex. Amanullah, the story goes, boasted to the Shah Reza of Iran that he would westernize Afghanistan faster than the Shah could westernize Persia. This was the end of Amanullah, and may like pronouncements long be the end of his successors."
For how many more times various authors and other direct evidences should tell us of impossibility of imposing any exogenious power/rule/living patterns over this land and its subjects?
I hope by now every one can see that any external intervention should be viewed as just another chapter in global power struggle for spheres of influence, natural resources etc.
Down with those fig leaves of bringing light to savagers in shapes of communism, democracy, etc.! We can see now what it is all for! Pathetic hypocracy!
