The events of the last two months have spooked many of the educated
locals and the ones of means are looking for ways out. A major city in the fell to the Taliban and
now there is panic amongst the “Kabulis”.
Although the police succeeded in reclaiming Kundoz, Confidence in the
Govt has been shaken. “Mr. George, you
know a Special Immigrant Visa is available for us and all it would take is a
letter from you to help.” Hmmmmm, you
know that there are maybe a few thousand bad guys, and 3 Million of you here in
Kabul, I say in a rather analytical tone to the assembled group. It seems to me that you all clearly have the
upper hand and if only a third of you each hurled a rock at the bad guys, this
problem would be over. Stunned looks by
the young college kids. “Do you think
you can write me a letter”. In Shallah
(God willing) – I say.
