There was very little written about the effects of the war on the Afghan consciousness in almost all of the articles I read regarding this attack. Just because they don't buy into and build McDonalds and Starfucks on each street corner as we do here, is not an indication of a lack of intelligence or an understanding of history through critical thinking. The Armenian-American activist, David Barsamian, while talking about the book, "Targeting Iran", which he co-wrote with Chomsky, Shirin Ebadi, Ervand Abrahamian, and two other Iranians, said - quoting Gore Vidal - that we live in the "United States of Amnesia". But other countries and their people remember and remember quite well. He went on to describe how he was enlightened by new information about the CIA-funded coup which overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh in '53 when he spoke of that incident - surprised and humbled by the amount of history that the Arab audience knew, not only about Iran, but the Middle East - especially in relation to Western hegemony. I wonder what would happen if an all powerful Muslim nation with real weapons of mass destruction attacked, occupied, maimed and slaughtered American civilians, children, women, the elderly with drones that are supposedly for the "surgical pacification" of insurgents, and had death squads photographing or filiming the hunting of young American boys on motor bikes as if they were documenting something for National Geographics, and on top of that, had some village idiot back home seeking some attention by burning the Holy Bible - what would the immediate reaction be?
