SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Revenue Builders podcast, our hosts John McMahon and John Kaplan talk to Afghan freedom fighter, poet, and diplomat, Ambassador Massoud Khalili. By all counts, Masood has lived a life in service of his people and country. In this episode, Masood talks about his experiences of war and its aftermath. He also shares the many lessons that he learned from his time in the resistance against the Soviets and the Taliban, specifically those he learned his father, the great Persian poet and diplomat Ustad Khalilullah Khalili and from his friend, the late Ahmad Shah Massoud, also known as the Lion of Panjshir.  Additional Resources:Get Masood's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-War-Freedom-Fighters-Invasion/dp/9386062771Website: https://www.masoodkhalili.com/Improve Forecasting by Helping Your Salespeople Prioritize the Right Opportunities: https://forc.mx/3QDTn4v  Listen to More Revenue Builders: https://forc.mx/3bfW5Od HIGHLIGHTSHow Masood Khalili became a freedom fighter for his countryMeeting the Lion of Panjshir and fighting for love of countryIf you win the war but lose peace, you lose bothRemembering Ahmad Shah Massoud and the assassination How 'Whispers of War' came to be GUEST BIOMassoud Khalili is the son of the famous Dari language and Afghan poet laureate, Ustad Khalilullah Khalili.  He studied BA and MA in Political Science in New Delhi University at Kirorimal University, India.  In the war against the Soviets from 1980 to 1990, he was the political head of the Jamiat-i-Islami Party of Afghanistan and close advisor to Commander Ahmad Shah Masood.  In the internal conflict that followed, he chose to be the Special Envoy in Pakistan to President Burhannudin Rabbani. Deported from the same country for his high rank in the Northern Alliance, he went to New Delhi in 1996 as the Ambassador of the Afghanistan (Anti-Taliban) where he stayed for many years. He was non-resident Ambassador to Sri Lanka and Nepal at the same time.  On September 9th, 2001, Ambassador Khalili was sitting next to the hero of Afghanistan, Commander Massoud, when two men posing as journlists set off a bomb placed in their camera. Commander Massoud was assasinated and Ambassador Khalili survived. Two days later, Al Qaeda Attacked America.  After his recovery, he was made the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Turkey and he is currently the first Afghan Ambassador to Spain.  QUOTESMasood's conversation with his father at the start of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan: "He said, 'Go to Afghanistan, son. The war has started.' And I said, 'What about my PhD?' He said, 'Take your PhD from the mountains of your country, from the university of your people who are fighting for their freedom.'" Masood on why you need vision to retain peace after war: "When we were fighting against the Soviets, we did not have the vision to see when we reached Kabul what we would do and what would happen. We reached Kabul and we won the war. People applauded, people appreciated. People were happy. But we lost peace. And until now, we have lost that peace." Masood on the need for international solidarity: "We are all one body. If a part of the body is painful, the other parts feel it too. I'm in California but I think of Kabul. I think of Africa." Check out John McMahon's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064

For decades, Afghanistan has been everybody's business and no one's responsibility. Other powers, big and small, pursued their own agendas there, with little regard for the country's customs or aspirations. But now that the Taliban has upended the status quo, the question of Afghanistan's trajectory and what it portends for the region as a whole is more pressing than ever. To try and answer this question, Oksana is joined by Ahmad Wali Massoud, former Afghan ambassador to the United Kingdom and younger brother of the late resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud.

In the second part of our special miniseries, “America's Longest War: What Went Wrong in Afghanistan,” you'll hear more conversations Jake Tapper had with U.S. commanding generals who led the war effort, from the former Afghan Ambassador to the U.S., and from the veterans who served. We look at whether U.S. troop levels could have ever changed the trajectory of the war eight years after it began and examine the bigger question of whether the past 20 years of war was worth the immeasurable cost.
