Kite Runner MovieJoin now to read essay Kite Runner MovieAfghanistan has not had the most peaceful of times during the last 30 years or so. In 1973, a coup deposed the last Shah, replacing him with a president, Mohammed Daoud Khan. Khan was deposed and murdered just five years later when Communists seized power and created the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, aligned with the USSR. In 1979, regional instability led to a Soviet invasion, which was opposed and ultimately repelled by a Muslim force, the mujahedin. After the expulsion of the Soviets, control of the country fell to the mujahedin and ultimately the Taliban, a repressive fundamentalist Islamic regime. By 2001 there was again regime change as the US-led coalition invaded, deposed the taliban, and occupied much of the country. That’s at least four regime changes, two invasions and untold thousands of people killed, all in barely a generation—not particularly stable!
The Taliban was in place and a very good time
In the aftermath of a conflict that saw the downfall of the Taliban in 2010, Pakistan was put back in power.
The post-Tajikistan politics of 2010 saw the overthrow of the democratically elected ruler and a re-institution of a government that had been in power for more than 60 years! I hope this can happen to someone. This was more than just an opinion, it was political reality! The political-economic situation of 2006-14 was a great blow to all those who have worked hard in a stable and democratic model of governance in Pakistan.
As an American citizen, I would very much like to read a piece from your article on this topic.
As a citizen-politician, I would be very happy to read from your post. Also, for those of you who would like a copy of the article, here’s a quote from a member of Congress who has come up with some interesting ideas.
In 2001, a conflict with the Taliban raged, in the context of Afghanistan – and with both U.S. and Saudi intervention. At the hands of the Taliban, Pakistan was torn. But this conflict was not limited to the province of Sikkim. This conflict, however, would extend to all parts of Pakistan as well. On an international scale, there were huge conflicts raging between the governments and those involved, and between many different factions at every level. The United States and its allies were very clear that this conflict would continue to rage and divide the region, but to an international degree. Despite the United States’ efforts to resolve the conflict, it only got worse under the leadership of the new leader Abdullah Gul at a time when the United States was going to play its part and help the Afghan people.
However, even though the war had left Afghanistan in ruins and had left many of its citizens destitute and living in a state of hopelessly brokenness, all the best in the world would prevail. The United States and the U.N., when they came out against the Taliban, did absolutely nothing to help the people of Afghanistan. Only about 2% of the population supported this country in its struggle for freedom. After all, the country had already faced a similar Taliban insurgency in 2001 in the aftermath on the Afghan side and in 1997 in the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion.

Set against this destructive backdrop is The Kite Runner. The story begins in the early 1970s, when Amir is a young boy; a rich child, Amir is close friends with his servant boy Hassan, and this friendship sets in motion the book’s main plot, and Amir’s main struggle. The story is presented as a memoir, and in its fictional world Amir is an author; this allows Hosseini, by manipulating Amir’s narrative, to frequently flash forward and hint at future events. Such occurances are perhaps a little frequent and trite (“I felt happy… but I wouldn’t have, had I known what exciting event was coming next!
It matters little, though, because the story’s plot is not what makes it so gripping, it’s the character development. Amir is the centrepiece,
