The per quote in this chapter says alot what my happen after 9/ 11 that people wont give Mortenson because it's loke giving money to the the bad guys and that he is not a true AMerican if he is doing this and not helping fight for his own country! sorry but i would have done that .
" As the U.S confornts Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, Greg Mortenson ,45 , is quiety waging his own campaign aganist Islamic Fundamentalists, who often recurit members through religious schools called maadrassa. Mortenson's approach hinges on a simple idea: that by building secular schools and helping to promote education - particaulary for girls- in the world's most volatile war aone, support for the Taliban and other extremist sects eventually will dry up"! wow powerful for me !

Chapter 21
WOW the opening quote meant alot to me !
"Today in Kabal, clean-shaven men rubbbed thier faces. AN old man with a newly -trimmed grey beard danced in the streets holding a small tape recorder blaring to his ear . The Taliban -who had banned music and ordered men to wear beards - were gone." This in a way ment that the people of the villages that the Taliban had control will go back to peace and have a some what better life for them sleves! THAT WILL BE A NICE THING!

I asked my self why did the aurthor added this chapter then i saw that AMERICANS thought that all the pakistan people were the Bad people but when really we were the bad people at first cause we bombed them in the first place just for oil!
Chapter 18
In this chapter there is a qoute that calls out to me since i read this chapter . The quote is on page 227 which Mortenson states that " What we are trying to do may just a drop in the Ocean. This Quote calls out to me that mosty every change that we do in this world is just another drop to the ocean. That with more Drops of water this world will be a better place to live in and for future children of the world.
