I wanted to tell this man that i have always thought foreign occupation was an invasion of my personal rights, a violation of my integrity as a human being. that's why i hate the russians. what he is doing is exactly the same thing. i wanted to tell this young man that the occupation obviously hasn't ended for me; that it's continuing in another form, which i will also resist. this quote is from A Bed of Red Flowers: In Search of My Afghanistan By Nelofer Pazira
