It is undeniable that the interpreters who have served their NATO masters so well deserve some kind of reward.But the subtext of the asylum for interpreters story is a different one. What happened to the 'New Afghanistan', the viable, democratic, vibrant society that the US and NATO have been spinning to the world for nearly 12 years of their disastrous occupation. Why don't the interpreters want to stay there? Quite simply because it doesn't, never has and never will exist. NATO/ISAF have been killing Afghans and getting killed for 11 years on the back of a fantasy.
The intepreters know that the Taliban are just biding their time.
