Today’s Afghanistan was known as Khorasan a little over a hundred years ago and as Khorasan they were once an advancing civilization.  Khorasan had established itself as the center of Islamic culture and the home of great literature, art, architecture and science.  But all that has changed.  Now, Afghanistan is a ruined and struggling third-world country..... http://www.afghanprofile.net/

So typical of Americans and other Westerners that they go somewhere to shoot up the country’n teach the natives a lesson - then end up copying everything external about the lifestyle - while still failing toatlly to understand the culture......

My God, my God, my God!!

The arrogance of the “Ugly American” knows no bounds!!

They honestly have NO idea how disrespectful this is to the people (women included) who belong to Afghanistan.

A flippin’ FASHION SHOW in Afghanistan,with the US MILITARY modeling the attire of Afghanis, and this one woman says that it’s an ‘honor’. Ignorance and arrogance simply runs the world unabated..as practiced by...ignorant and arrogant Americans.

I realize that the concept/principle epitomized by ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is totally foreign to most Americans, but one would think that at least there might be some measure of respect for whatever the local region lives by.

Nope. Not a chance. That adage should now read, “When ANYWHERE on the GLOBE, do as the AMERICANS do” since the Americans sure will do whatever the hell they want to do.

My God, my God, my God…

And we wonder why they hate us…
