...terrible mistake has been made," says Uruzgan businessman Abdul Ghani. All the dead, including the twin leaders of the military commission Haji Sanagul and Qadous Khan Jahadwal, had been appointed by the provincial government. "They were not Taliban, they were a military commission working with (Interim Prime Minister) Hamid Karzai," says schoolteacher and Uruzgan elder Farou Khan.

The boy's father, who has already arranged a bride, instantly accuses his much-loved son of lacking in filial duty. Cue to a clash between generations, forcing the adopted son to leave home...
