		Afghans, including their top intellectuals, are longing for their country's independence, and for leaders similar to Amanullah Khan, Mahmud Tarzi etc, to energetically fight for their rights.
		In this context, and because Amanullah Khan is widely regarded as a fighter for Afghan independence, Karzai's move to award the NATO representative the Ghazi Amanullah Khan medal, is enormously saddening and a huge mistake.
