Losing faith in Afghanistan, Bush hegemonic hubris down...

[bridgit]

'KARACHI - Even as the Bush administration steps up pressure on Afghanistan over the plight of a Christian convert, thousands of youths are descending on Kabul to demand that he be hanged for renouncing Islam.

US President George W Bush and other Western leaders have latched onto the case of Abdul Rahman, 41, who was arrested last month and accused of apostasy for converting to Christianity in 1990, saying that the issue was one of "honoring the universal principle of freedom".

For many Afghans, though, it is just another rallying point to step up pressure for a broader alliance against the presence of foreign forces in the country, while for the Bush administration and its allies it is an opportunity to rethink their position on Afghanistan.'

1. I think my Americans were unaware of the Islamic creeds in the Constitutio

I hear people being confused about it a lot.

The Afgan Constitution was billed as the great solution to freedom.

Well........
