It's 1996... almost five years before the 9/11 catastrophe.. But the foundations of the catastrophe are being laid...Because it is a complex world and nothing starts a day early...It's Afghanistan... the hottest days of the civil war... Thousands of people who have lost their lives, properties, and homes.Are expecting the conflict to end... 


     Yusuf and his friends, on the other hand, expect to go there for humanitarian purposes... "They say...A butterfly that flaps a wing right here can cause a storm in the Atlantic...So every one of us is like that butterfly, but with a difference...Our butterfly does not cause storms.
