Haaretz, October 17:
"Afghan President Hamid Karzai would recognize Israel's government if an independent Palestinian state was first established, Karzai's spokesman said yesterday.
"'We will establish relations with Israel after our Palestinian brothers have an independent and free state,' Karim Rahimi quoted the president as saying."
Afghanistan will be waiting a very long time for an "independent and free [Palestinian] state." Nothing on the table currently even discusses such a proposal. Gaza is still essentially occupied and surrounded on air, sea and land borders. While America offers platitudes and kindly asks Israel to "ease the daily plight of the Palestinian people", the nearly 4o-year old illegal occupation continues.

Not wanting to be prejudiced against a country of born sharpshooters who are quick with the knife (woman and children aside).
But surely diplomatic recognition from Afghanistan would be the Kiss of Death for any country.
But I thought 'we'd' liberated the place?
He he..
Oh Shaba
Methinks your "mistake" is but a vehicle to display inneresting hotlinks.
A budding blogmeister of the future perhaps?
There are many leaders chosen by their countrymen who can not venture out because of the many terrorists who care not what the people want. Only what they want.
'this idiotic notion of 'brotherhood' based on religion'
Yes, and there's the even more idiotic notion of forming a state based on religion! I ask you, where will it end?
It won't. And that, in itself, is neither a good nor bad thing.
But when you found a state based on a religion that appears to worship death, it is time to head for the hills.
