"The Afghan government has taken us to court."
"That doesn't surprise me. They have been accusing us of providing a sanctuary to the Afghan Taliban, a place where the Afghan Taliban can safely recover from their wounds enabling them to return to fight."
"No, the court case has nothing whatsoever to do with the Taliban." "Then it must be with respect to recovering what they consider is their land as the Durand Line was not to be for ever, somewhat the same angle that China took and successfully regained Hong Kong."
"Nope that's not it either. Though what they would do with the territory even if we let it go is beyond me given that they are having a hard time ruling beyond Kabul as matters stand today."
"Well then it must have something to do with increased smuggling across our border with Afghanistan."
"Two things: first smuggling is not rampant in Afghanistan but Pakistan, we have more money to buy stuff, and second the smuggling is with the complicity of not only our customs officials but also Afghan customs officials."
"Ah yes indeed. I give up. Why has the Afghan government taken us to court?"
"Apparently our over zealous Malik force, and by that I am referring to the capital police which comes under Malik, anyway the Malik force raided a house occupied by an Afghan embassy official, found alcohol on the premises which the police confiscated and registered a criminal case against the diplomat."
"Maybe Malik Sahib and his force mistook a diplomat for a refugee."
"How can they be so stupid?"
"I will not respond on the grounds that you could not be so stupid as to end that statement with a question mark."
"I don't understand."
"The statement 'how can they be so stupid,' must end with an exclamation mark and if you don't understand that go get your BA degree verified."
