    Surprise to CA, U.S.A. NATIVE/ New NIXON.org (from another Native born Californian, USA, a minority, 2009):   Your research answer is here, c/o  an “American Afghan”:   dynamiqs.biz (and jjjjshawproductions.com)
    (1)     AFGHAN TIME, 12-D Quizettes map is featured by oversized notecard of gameboard.  (It has 40 year classic map and border cards of rare research pictures.) The wall calendar (12 different pages of self-quiz cards) are featured.  It’s planned with Paypal pending wholesale, if not also Nixon Library giftshop proposal?  What might be worthwhile or not, in the pursuit of access to truth?     
    (2)     Gladly, a 40 minute lively presentation is available, "To Step into Afghan Time".   It’s with a 20 minute video DVD in reference to the Afghan classic 40 year map of provinces.  It’s not just minorities, but mixed cultures (like Californian, USA, UCB Regent Ward Connerly notes). 

    In BEYOND PEACE (1995), former President RM Nixon wrote that Afghanistan is "strategic".  (A Quaker, he’d had a change of heart.)  By 1,500 BC it has been the "established Crossroad to Asia".  Maybe Nixon's been nixed or hounded since exposing Soviet spy Alger Hiss?  (But who may see that his reindeer or statue nose still shines?)  What happened the year the 25 year gas lease was expiring in ancient Balkh, Afghanistan?

    CLASSIC MAP:  For the sake of families of both USA troops and Afghan intelligentsia diaspora -- use the facts, not propaganda or false comparables.  Soviet Brezhnev's fighter plane hit the Afghan Palace in a "coup", April 27, 1978, with invasion of 100,000 troops.  (Russian mothers protested, when the unidentified mounds of 15,000 sons died, fighting civilians.)  The 40 Year Classic Afghan map, today features 34 provinces, from basic 10 in 1950's (both Encyclopedia Britannica and Moscow print).

    ANCIENT GOLD COINS?  Then, the new ministry of divisive tribalism was fomented, with outsiders embroiled by atheist attacks.   By 1992, Robyn Wright of LA Times wrote of mythical maps (H1-6) like Disunited (United) States by global economists.   Did Japanese K. Ohmae propulgate the end of nation states?  Is it true that none of the Afghan champs were represented at the Geneva Peace Accord, with a Pakistani General? (Z.S) 

    Since Pakistan was created in 1947, what's the latest on the BACTRIAN-GRECO gold coins (of 3,000 BC to 48 AD)?  Did Muscovite financiers’ attempt cultural genocide by melt down of Afghan/Ariana spirit?  (Indo-European language is paternal to East and West heritage.)  Most Afghans say that they are Afghan (not warlord “futilists”).   Contrary to propaganda, none were 19 suicidal  bombers in twin NY Towers?  Then, it was India at New Delhi in 1950.  Afghans had an Assembly (Loya Jirga) electing King A. S. Durrani, Kabul, 1747.  Later flew the 100 Year Afghan Flag, August 19, 1919.   Former Governor (CA, USA), President Reagan declared March 21, Afghan Day (Nauroz or the First New Year, under King Yama, Balkh, Bactriana Afghanistan).

    15 YEARS LATER?  Since full credits from the late Dr. L. Dupree, Ph.D-Harvard, our article was published "Afghanistan, Landlocked Images, 15 Years Later" (changing attitudes, AUFS Reports, 10/'76, SE Asia).  From subsequent studies, the learning technique, an appreciation with quiz game -- has continued to develop, for affordable access, as Professor-Author.

    AFGHAN DYNAMIC KEYS (12-D, 1996):  My 160-400 page dissertation proposal study got tabled as controversial.   (Were the ignorant Taliban students, orphans trained in Pakistani camps, with a Bombay Institute interpretation and foreign Muslims (SM Omar, Ph.D.-Harvard).  Were others eager for a soldier's pay check?  Afghanistan...Dynamic Keys was later registered as unpublished copyrights.  Then, the Defense department, without due credits, did their own study on "changing attitudes".  

    Afghan R.A.F.Y.Q. (pending):  Thanks for noting that few, even younger USA Afghans, know of the history, past, present, and future.  Get a glimpse of world history with Afghan history on an affordable set image:   oversized postcards, or place mat, 2008, of Afghan Time, 12-D, Quizettes map.  Video DVD developments are available, AFGHAN TIME SCROLLS (Salvation Army presentations, sbtv3, omidi), AFGHAN ROSE PETALS, dvd and song (2 of 20 verses, UCI charity forum speaker, where noted for education administration services for years, 2002, and former kafgtv, 2008) and R.A.F.Y.Q., Research-Afghan-5000-Years-Quizettes (30-60 minute, video/slide dvd, pending partial voice over).
 
    KINDLY, maintain or acknowledge credits for fundraising.  If you get three oversized postcards, give one to a librarian, teacher, or tourism agent. . .  California teacher/professors did not need rocket scientists to say illegal drug trafficking ruined public schools by need for Security.  Will HR departments favor “dumbing down” (Gatto), in various professional careers, or  is teaching teens just a baby-sitting job?  Also, there is a Valentine fundraiser for HOPE / IOC.org  by USA Afghan refugee families, for school supplies.  (Do textbook headquarters matter?)   Where’s the improved waterworks and sewage pipelines? animals for family farms?  or voice access like Afghaninfo.org (c/o fma)?

P.S.  PATRIOTS or Competitors?  USA Republican or globalist democrats?  Is today’s world plight simply about enemies or competitors (a yen for euromark? Groucho Marx? Karachi’s Pak ports and Ukraine’s and Afghan’s pipelines? AK, USA, and California’s, USA, West Coast Ports?).  Is it pragmatics (like jobs for careers of illiterates to professionals, etc. and costs for middle class.  Or is it prime time for Wall Street instead of Main Street, globalists vs USA business owners?

AFGHANS’ WON THE COLD WAR (1988)?  Is the other Afghanistan war, the same against global organized crime of illegal drug traffickers.  Who threatened Afghan farmers, if wheat fields, for needed food, were not burned?  The ancient land of 100 kinds of wheat (Prof. Noori, 1996) may have an opportunity for pipeline leases (en routes like Siberia), for schools and roads.  And what new cuisines, Afghan and other, can use saffron spice?  Was California Paella influenced by Moors in Spain and Spanish laws for community property? 

IT’S A SMALL WORLD . . . Is the world getting smaller?  Or, as John Donne queried “Is no man an island” (so long as women are credited).   For winning, native Californians, USA, the hemisphere world from Kabul, Afghanistan, might care to be part of counting the ways.  It's not just whether some of us see the Spirit of Light, 3-D or at-one-ment (of self-jihad)?  Who profited from the family and business gas pump chaos?  (Did 60 Minutes give a guess?)   Now, who's setting the agendas or ignoring history heritage? 

* Yes, I still need to rejoin, the California born President, Native Nixon, birthplace library foundation, even if the member increase was $35 to $50, and Nixon himself seems to get nixed in that easterner's repurification remodeling (from personally chosen artifacts)?  I'll send you the digital photo of John Taylor standing with Secretary of States, USA Jefferson (monticelloman), Afghan, USA, SM Omar, Ph.D-Harvard, and self, shown with UCB Alum, 2008, Directory.  [Does Nixon Presidential Birthplace Library, UCB, or other California libraries have the volumes, 1960’s, ‘70’s, and the 80’s renditions of the late Louis Dupree, Ph.D.-Harvard and world expert to ambassadors?]
