  1. I think
    the
    *people
    of
    Afghanistan should have the
    right
    to able to see their flag

  5. *If it weren’t
    for the
    honorable struggles
    of
    the great people
    of
    Afghanistant; today, all of
    the
    surrounding couriers
    would have had been
    definitely and abjectly enslaved
    into
    savage cultural norms
    and
    irrational dictates
    of
    the
    megalomaniac
    Euro/US
    coward invaders.
