I offer a small but important correction to what some of you have been writing. Those who are familiar with Afghanistan know that the word "Afghani" refers only to the Afghan currency. People are not Afghanis; there was no "Afghani empire", etc. The people are "Afghans". Please don't consider this as pedantic as it certainly is not. No more than if you thought I was being pedantic if I referred to an American as an Americani. It's simply incorrect. Live and learn.
