Today he's the Secretary General of Afghanistan's Meshrano Jirga, or Senate. But I knew him as a keen eye with a Stinger missile, hunting the Red Army's helicopter gunships in the 1980's. Meet Assadullah Falah - a former fighter who's now a true democrat.

Washington once was a general fighting a great power of that time, then he held public office. Ofcoarse, he was the first and last man to leave a position of power voluntarily. It is true that those who truly fought in the Soviet war are likely to have the most sympathy to the Afghan people and their sufferning. Unfortunately many public offices are held by criminals who pretended to fight the soviet, while collecting funds from CIA and hiding in Pakistan. They have large sums of cash in the west with their families from blood of the Afghan people. These polititians should be sought out and removed, as they are a danger to Afghanistan and the world.
