Comments: I pray that everyone remembers that we as people are more alike than we are different, and that in our "core", we have the same hopes, dreams, and wishes.  It time to respect the few differences that each culture and nation has, and embrace each other in the name of humanity.  We all worship differently, we all salute a different color flag, but if someone were to cut each one of us open, we are all the same, our blood is red.  As a mother, as a sister, as a daughter, and as a person, I pray for all violence to end, and I hope that the USA has the strength and the will and the power to realize that sometimes being a so called superpower means not having to show your power.

Comments: Thanks for your terrific site!  I am very troubled by the direction that the Islamic clash with modernity seems to be taking, and found your informative and helpful web pages in my search for information about the empirical results of total Islamic government control in Afghanistan. (The results are quite tragic for the people of Afghanistan)

Comments:  I really can't believe what I have read written by my fellow citizens.  May God have mercy on the USA, whose vocal population now appears to be as full of hatred as the Jihad.  Wow...  Although retribution is the God-given responsibility of the Government, we seem to think it also belongs to us individually.  Or maybe we want the "privilege" of revenge.  Yes, I know the feelings of shock and anger and fear that we all have.  However, may we take this time to truly learn about "loving our enemies"- after all Christ did not come and die for friends, but for ENEMIES...

I hope more Americans find this site, so they can develop an understanding of Afghanistan, It's people, it's culture. MAY WE ALL LIVE IN PEACE :)

Comments: Please forgive me for using your excellent site for the purpose of family history.
Capt. Thomas Alexander SOUTER of the 44th Regiment of Foot, (later The Essex Regiment), was captured in 1842 during the retreat from Kabul at the Battle of Gundermuck, some twenty miles short of safety at Jalalabad. He was, I believe, the only British officer to survive; having wrapped the Regimental Colours around his torso to save them. During his captivity near Kabul he was well treated, being allowed to correspond with his wife. On his release the Colours were returned to him by his capturers. Should anybody know anything of this incident I would be most interested. Capt. SOUTER was my great great grandfather, two of his daughters marrying two SELLON brothers, but I know nothing further of him
