Tribal Leader Says US Invaded Afghanistan "Because They Hate Our Way Of Life" [Video, Pictures]
I moved to Afghanistan in 2008, and I hit the road very soon after. I took a motorcycle, I lived in villages, and I got the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. And what I learned in that, in those trips, is that those ideas, really those Manichean ideas that I had back in 2001, I think weren’t very accurate.
I’ll give you one example where I pulled into a village after a few days of travel and met a tribal elder who, at that point he was maybe in his seventies or eighties, and he had lived through thirty years of war, twenty-five years of war. And we got to talking about the war on terror, and about the American invasion. And at one point I asked him, “Why do you think the United States invaded your country?”
And he knew about 9/11, and you know, he talked about it a little bit. But for him, 9/11 was this far-away occurrence, the way maybe some famine in Africa might be for us. It wasn’t at the center of the way he thought. Instead, he told me, he looked at me and he said, “The U.S. invaded our country because they hate our way of life.”
hat was a ringing phrase for me. I didn’t necessarily agree with him. But hearing him put it in this way, which was the way it was talked about back in 2001, was a watershed moment for me because it spurred me to investigate how Afghans really viewed the war on terror, and the American war. Particularly Afghans who were living in the South, where the war is being fought. So not living in those areas that are peaceful, but living in the areas where there is constant fighting to this day. youtube
