Antigone explains before her uncle and the council of elders that she, too, is aware of the killings caused by the U.S. military activity, that both the Soviet Union and the U.S., during the cold war, supported fanatics and murderers that torn the land apart. She states that she know that the many clans of religious fanatic and warlords were, indeed, financed by the Americans, among others, and that this hordes of assassins did brought much suffering to the people. She also mentions that she never meant to accept the culture of other nations and simply gave up on her own culture, but that she knew that education was one of the greatest gifts any human being deserved to receive and that good deeds could come from the hands of anyone. She explains that the U.S. is guilty of atrocities, but that many good people came from there to actually help the people of Afghanistan to prosper, and that she preferred to thing on the level of individuals, not on the level of populations or nations. She states that she was extremely grateful to her teachers and that she knew that one of the greatest things she could to was to help to expand education thorough the country. She explains that Allah would be pleased to see human beings, his beloved creations, improving themselves, that he would not offer to human beings their brains and souls if he not intended to see them perfecting themselves, and etc, etc, etc. She dosent want to abanond the Islamic faith or the healthy and beautiful cultural elements of Afghanistan, but she knows that there is an ocean of knowledge out there that every boy and girl had the right to know and benefit from.
