As the us so often praises that they freed afghanistan, this just proves
they didn't and left it in turmoil. A danger for the kids and their
families is real and they shouldn't live fear in fear. Save those
boys! |

Please have some sympathy towards these children. You cannot judge their
situation by western standards because these children are not american
actors...
The actors should be payed at least double what they were, and be saved
from persecution. |

If you have read the book, you can see how real the problems in it are. If
you feel like, in these times, you're made out to be some *******
American, some North American scum, then prove everyone wrong. Take part in
something important and know that you can be changing lives just by lazily
surfing the internet like you do everyday I'm sure (I know I do). The
problems in Afghanistan are much more important than this war in Iraq.
Everyone knows that. So do something about it if you have the heart to
give. |

It is ironic that the novelist helped many readers understand Afghan
culture and the tragedy the country has lived through, but the film makers
seem oblivious to the danger posed to the child actors _by this culture_ as
a result of depicting the events in the novel. The boys deserve protection
AND more pay. |

delete the rape scene from the film. To leave it in the film is to doom
this family's future. |

Paramount has to pay to bring the boys and their families to America. Help
get them visas. It's the least they can do. They have
to care about the well-being of their actors. |

I recently viewed a preview of The Kite Runner film during the SIBA
bookseller's convention in Atlanta, Georgia and heard
about this petition from a fellow author. Though the film was a brilliant,
flawless, and sent a powerful message, I as an author, bookseller, book
club leader, and mother fear for those boys. Let us do something to help
these protect them and do what is morally right. Though I do not feel the
film would have been as powerful without that scene, as a mother I feel the
film will never be accepted fully if these children's
rights are now protected.Tiara wearing and Book sharing,Kathy L.

Why should these kids have to suffer for the rest of their lives (quite
possibly) for acting in a film? Merely because of social misunderstand? I
think not. |

Boys and their families should be evacuated from Afghanistan on ASAP basis.
This is morally and legally not correct to use them, pay them and leave
them there to die for no good reason. |

Please raise money (Mr. Hosseini, please use the profits from your book,
and Paramount Pictures - from your movies) to free these actors and their
families from the fate of Afghanistan. Their safety should be more
important than the Box Office. These are actual humans lives at risk...it
is not just a story anymore. |
