Part Two: " The country needs you"
In this segment of the conversation, Hon. Shukria Barakzai speaks with Rangita de Silva de Alwis about the death threats, and the assassination attempts she faced. One attempt on her life left her in hospital for many weeks and several dead. She speaks of what kept her going, her strong belief in the values she upheld. "Politics without values is nonsense," she says. She speaks of President Karzai fortifying her security. "The country needs you," he tells her despite her ongoing disagreements with him. She was never afraid to speak truth to power. She speaks about her respect for Laura Bush and asking President Bush why he brought back the War Lords. To President Obama, she famously asked him to send to Afghanistan 30,000 scholars and scientists instead of that many soldiers.
