What does the statement, "Excuse me. The women are the eyesight of Afghanistan, and unfortunately you all are blind. And I really want to give you some sight.'" mean? What was Jan saying to those that tried to stop her?

The phrase means that women are extremely important for the good development of Afghanistan and those who thought otherwise would have their lives harmed.

Jan was saying concepts that advocated providing education to women in Afghanistan when some men tried to stop her.

Explanation:

This question is about the article "Acid attacks, poison: What Afghan girls risk by going to school" that tells the story of how Jan positioned himself against the abusive Taliban government and his attempt to prevent girls from accessing quality education .

Jan founded a school where girls could receive quality education in Afghanistan and some men associated with the Taliban who forbid women to study tried to stop it, forcing it to turn the school into a school for boys only, "because the backbone of Afghanistan is our boys. " At that moment, Jan took a stand against it and stated that girls are extremely important for the success of the country and of all people, saying: "The women are the eyesight of Afghanistan, and unfortunately you all are blind. And I really want to give you some sight.“

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
