Well they were training Civil servants not sheep herds, although I fear you stereotype Afghanistan too much. My hippy friends assure me Afghanistan was a beautiful country well on the way to development before the King was deposed and the country started to unravel in the 70's. Being as it was a stopping off point on their trips to find a guru, or whatever they were doing. I believe they have more goats than sheep. > Hmm that's a massive cultural shift for one generation to handle. I suspect less culture shock than when they had to face Soviet helicopters. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/MOp3GFXfHI9FVgYRAkNbAJ93cdALbDG/A+PWPAYWsc6MZT2unwCfVcwA 7hmmKKLF5xFfmTTFQvoMFt4= =rEA4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
