Let's not talk about what past us. I start my blog from the day I watched Mr. Karzai's speech yesterday Nov 14, 2007 via Arians Television.
He sounded very sincere and at times funny. But when he talked about the little kids blown up at Baghlan, it made me cry in my heart. I am pretty sure he was heart broken as any other countryman and human being would be in this case.
He spoke about how these little kids did not even have proper winter shoes when they went to greet the parliamentarians.
During his speech he talked about how much money and property is owned by the heads of the government and the powerful in Afghanistan.
He directly addressed these people by telling them that they have gathered enough wealth and they should keep it all and start to think about the future of this nation.
"This nation has been very kind to us", he said. "They have taken us back in their arms and given us another chance to serve them, but we betrayed them again", he added.
Well, for my part, I definitely agree with what Mr. Karzai laid out in from of people; I listened good and sat back and thought about what he said.
At this moment I said to myself, "wait a minute, what he said was excellent......but that's all good if he was a teacher or something......."
I am thinking with myself that he is the head of the state, he is the president...he is the man in charge...he is the guy who, by all standards, have to take responsibility for what is going on under him.
Where I come from, if there is a company that is doing a poor job, the boss gets the blame. If a team keep loosing games, the coach shoulders the burden.
I don't mean to blame him for all the problems we have. But he is the one in a/the position who can do something about it. In action/swift action and not in words......
Now some might argue that he is only human being and one person. There is a limit to what he can do....
I agree with that point of view; but has he done everything that a human being in his position can do?
For those of you who watch Discovery Channel; you have watched scenes from the African desert, when an animal is about to die all these scavengers start to get closer from the sky and on the ground.
To me it resembles the nearing end of Afghan government and Karzai's era. I see all these so called politicians and elderly, as we call them, making noise and getting together and talking about the failures of the current regime and are offering their services to the people.....hah
I believe that Karzai still have a chance, the last chance......and i will write in detail what I think it takes for him to undo all the damages and do the overdue....
