A writer who has traveled extensively in Afghanistan talks about how 
little we understand its people, how dangerous it is to underestimate 
them and why they have cause to resent the U.S.


Since his first visit to Afghanistan in 1979, at the age of 19, 
British writer Jason Elliot has journeyed through that troubled 
nation several times, during the Soviet occupation, which ended in 
1989, as well as afterward. Two of those visits, including time spent 
fighting with the anti-Soviet mujahedin resistance, became the basis 
for a recently published book, "An Unexpected Light," a travelogue 
and paean to what he describes as "a place you either love or hate. I 
came to love it for better or worse." In the aftermath of the 
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Elliot has seen the land he loves so 
much characterized as a vipers' nest of terrorism and threatened with 
the military wrath of the United States. Salon reached him at his 
home in London to obtain a different view on Afghanistan.
