Je ne comprends pas la discrimination si injuste contre les Arabes autour de monde. Quelques gens croient qu'on doit "civiliser" le Moyen-Orient, mais ou est la civilité dans ce traitement-ci?

I've often thought about writing on this subject myself, but you've done it so much better than I could have.<br /><br />It's a very difficult topic. Obviously the authorities know that this population is here and what their problems are, but nobody wants to take responsibility for them. Personally, I think the only long-term solution is to ensure that Afghanistan becomes a country that can look after all of its population with equality and fairness.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881993293647462179.post-50052200201466209332009-12-15T10:34:36.039-05:002009-12-15T10:34:36.039-05:00Fantastic!

Thank you, LA Reader <br />PS - Emilie, your blog is the best ex pat blog I have ever read .. sometimes funny,sometimes sad, sometimes just lovely, sometimes infuriating (not you, what you relate - the post office story, specifically!) but always educational, provocative, enlightening, and interesting, with just the right amount of . .. everything.

I know that this comment may not be appreciated by the readers of this blog, but, one "sustainable" solution could be for them to be welcomed into the French Foreign Legion and sent back to Afghanistan to fight for their country. There are young French men dying in the fight against the Taliban, and it seems perverse for these young men to be sheltered by France at the same time. I would really like to see some discussion of this possibility by the French government.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395278758882413215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881993293647462179.post-88419881444266838022009-12-13T11:16:01.326-05:002009-12-13T11:16:01.326-05:00This is the kind of post that shows why blogs and ...This is the kind of post that shows why blogs and user generated content are relevant in our society.

For some reason i couldn't help it, i had to deal with refugees. Me, a priest and some friends founded "Aggalia" an organisation for the well being of refugees. We have a lot of trouble with finding food, shelter, support for these people. Well, some of the youngest ones leave Greece despite our counsel. We tell them that out there in Europe, its not the best of places. They dont believe us, they rush out, they believe hollywood movies more than us. "Its paradise out there", I've seen it", they say. Anyhow we cannot stop them from trying to find their way, their own way. Its not much better here in Greece anyhow...But your post is important for us. We can show them how it is out there, how is the paradise they are after. If you find Ali Nazizi 16, Habibi Taj, 17 tell them George from Lesvos says hi. contact me if you want to learn how it is here in Lesvos with refugees... or just type Pagani in google and help yourself.
