Afghan Attorney

This young Afghan attorney was born in 1983. He attended school in the U.S. at McCallister College in Minnesota and received a LLM masters of law degree from William & Mary. He spoke of the three types of law in Afghanistan: statutory, customary law, and Sharia. After 40 years of anarchy, communism, civil war, he said what the country needed was education and time. I hope the American people have the patience, will, and perseverance to see this mission through. I see the need for the United States to be here 20-30 years to start to effectively change things here.
