Thanks for posting this translation. Good to see the world from the other side's perspective once in a while -- whether you agree with the view or not (seek first to understand).
"Coincidence": I'm just reading a collection of works by the French historian and editor Pierre Nora in which he relates the emergence of contemporary history and then history of the present in France. This now has several decades of "history" in France.
I don't understand your comment about Karzi having "mental problems". His support for Pakistan, it seems to me, is not a sign of mental problems but rather a logical stand given his experience with US occupation, the region's history and his location. Also, given his experience with the US occupation, I can understand his statement that he might have been better off supporting/working with the Taliban.
