You might have read it, but it is not reality, the non pashtun parties or i should say the only main party is in opposition, they are not in gov anyway. Hizbe Islami Gulbudin Hekmatyar who is fighting the gov have probably more administrators, governers and officials than the main tajik party led by Abdullah. Yes, pashtuns are not happy and there is a reason for it, they had 100% controll and power before 2001 while the other groups were having zero share, the same thing is correct during Zahir Shah's time when the gov was purely pashtun and military was purely pashtun, they have lost that dominance and they are not happy.@Ahmad,
I am willing to be corrected. But I have read that Pashtuns really don't have real power despite Karzai being the President and that the Northern Alliance is essentially the real power and that the security forces are predominately non-Pashtuns. That was not some smart political move by the coalition forces.
BTW, you really can't accuse me personally of wanting the non-Pashtuns to not have power. I have stated that Pashtuns feel deprived after the Fall of the Talibans in 2001 and that's why I think this is essentially a civil war.
I hope you Afghans of all shades get your act together and become one nation. I know there are ethnic divisions in Pakistan too but, boy, even in your pre 1979 era you were an extremely tribal society with very little to show for and flirted with communism in a deeply religious, agrarian society. There is so much you can blame Pakistan. Sadly, your country has become a playground for different powers since late 70's and today it is the same. You have a govt. which really can't stand on its own despite almost 10 years of the mightiest military and economic powers propping you up. Why is that?
I pray and/work to hard for men.
^^^if we speak as one nation, then much of our problem is solved, sadly this is bitter truth that is haunting us.
No one is blaming Pakistan. That's ridiculous.
My sincere wish for you is that you will one day live under Taliban-style leadership. That is, unless you are one yourself in thought and deed. Whip any women lately? Drop off any poison gas at a girls' school?

RIP to the heroes who died in the line of duty.
