As the world awaits a U.S. strike on Afghanistan, Russian border guards in next-door Tajikistan dodge sniper fire and uneasily monitor rising tensions across the frontier.

Russian Captain Andrei Solovyov says his men have a duty to keep out drugs and disorder associated with the Afghanistan's fundamentalist Islamist Taliban rulers. But that is far from easy on sun-scorched plateaux a few hundred metres from tank volleys and machine-gun fire between the Taliban and the opposition.>>>

I AM AN AMERICAN.

I owe you no apologies nor will I accept
those apologies made for me by others.

If you dislike me-you dislike me not for
what I am,but for what you are not.
By my own sweat I have created a lifestyle
which I desire for all men.

To the world, I have shared my wealth and
given my blood,not because of obligation-
but by my free will.I have fed the
hungry of the world.Many bit my hand;
I used the other hand.

I defeated my enemies in battle,then
pulled them up from the ashes of defeat.
Once strong,they again attacked;I turned
the other cheek.Though I am strong,I have
never used my strength to rule others.
But do not misjudge me,I will not allow the
fear of my own strength to become my weakness.

If you wish to rise,I will give you a helping
hand.But by the grace of God,and I'll
first be damned,if I'll let you drag me down
so that we may be equal.
