various tactics employed by peace keepers in northern ireland have been tried in afghanistan, but the two countries' circumstances are not dissimilar and for very good reasons. aside from sharing a long colonial heritage with britain, ireland and afghanistan share an ancient legacy of tribal law and secular codes of moral conduct that long precede the christian and islamic era. ireland's pre-christian laws provided a sophisticated set of rules for every aspect of irish society. from the quality of the poets to the ordering of discipline to the worthiness of kings. prior to the hostile european invasion of afghanistan, pashtun wally was a guide for a peace and has hospitable afghanistan t was known to accommodate both jews and christians. the first british explorers wrote of their warm reception in afghanistan's cities. we feel a new and shocking departure from the existing narrative is needed to change the tone of the afghan crisis and reorient people's thinking, and we feel what better way for afghans to remove themselves from the existing extremist narrative than by reconnecting to
