Hell, I went to the afghani restaurant in cambridge after the bombing started there. I thought, I'll support the afghani-americans. They really didn't need my support. The place was packed. It's ALWAYS packed.

Turned on the local news a few minutes ago. It showed a garage door with GO BACK TO FRANCE spray painted on it. Sigh.

Littlek, it seems to me that Afghans that emigrated to the USA do not support Taliban and Al-Qaeda. If they did, they would rather stay in their homelans. Unlike Arabs, Pashtuns do not claim global domination and Islamization of all the world.

steissd - it doesn't matter that the afghani-americans did or didn't support the Taliban or Al-Qaeda. Being of afghani origin or descent made them targets in many communities.

Taliban, IMO, had merely a bad luck. Their leaders had no intentions to play war games with America. But they desperately needed money. Bin Laden gave them what they needed, but he was a professional troublemaker, and he brought troubles to his hosts as well.

Hatred to Afghans? I do not have such a feeling even after having war with them for four years. They are primitive and opportunistic like small kids, it is impossible to hate them.

Steissd - Beth is right. I agree with you that it shouldn't matter - that afghans here are here because they don't want to be there. But, people here will still target them for boycotts and violence. People here are boycotting french fries - that's got to give you some insight into the madness of americans.

I wont reply in a similar tone, so:

I know a couple of Afghanian refugees and some others. None is primitive (more than the half [of the adult] have academic degrees) nor are they opportunistic [against the Soviet invasion: yes]).

Yep, and you don't have 'French dressing' anymore. Just dressing down the French.
