A rather stimulating weekend!

As the title indicates, I experienced a rather stimulating weekend. As I was typing up this assignment I had to complete, I was "Wikipedia"-ing in another window. In the span of 2-3 hours, I had expanded my knowledge base about the world and political history. I read about who the ZANU-PF actually are; I read about the Afghanistan and the situation in the country through the 1980's and 90's - and in doing so, began to come full circle and understand who was supplying traning and arms to who etc... ; I read about who the main players were in the Afghan civil war from about 1989-1992: Burhanuddin Rabbani, Gulbudin Hekmatyr, Shanawaz Tanai, Dr. Najibullah, Ahmed Shah Masood, General Rashid Dostum, Mohammed Fahim - to name a few of them; I read about what "actual operations" were undertaken during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. It was very worthwhile and fulfulling (to me at least!)
