I expected to see anti-American feelings:

This was a very double story!
I gathered that in general people in Kabul do not like American, they had expected much more to happen when they come but they were disappointed (I write a bout this later), but saying anti-American, in a strong word. I do not know yet! An American military guy told me “you sit in the US military cars and there is a chance to be blown up, you can’t really go to city!” But he added that he loves Afghans, they are very nice people, he has been just taking a taxi and seen a lot of places in the city. Means people do not hate people, it is some thing to do with the military uniform and Taliban? (not a surprise!)
Nevertheless, I heard from people that draw a clear line between American policy and European ones. They do not trust US, they even think that American brought Taliban for them to make the road open for invading the country. I do not know to call it conspiracy theory or some hints of truth; I heard from couple of intellectuals and an ex-Mojahedin soldier (he had some rank in the troops before): “we never accepted any foreign invasion in our country, we kicked them all out, whether was British, or ex USSR. US knew that they can not come here so easily, that is why they supported Taliban, they were feeding them, they wanted them to be here, to kill the life, culture, economy, ruin the country, and this would made people so sick, would result in a welcome to American for freeing them from Taliban who made them themselves. That is what it happened.” It is a very complex story.



"An old Mojahedin soldier. He had so many stories…"
