Abstract
On November 27, 2001 the first so-called Bonn Conference on Afghanistan began. Thirty-six political leaders, many who had never spoken with one another, met for 9 days to create a road map for the political future of the country. After the conference, when interviewed by journalists, they expressed great contentment with the results.
In order for something of quality to take place, an empty space needs to be created. An empty space makes it possible for a new phenomenon to come to life, for anything that touches on content, meaning, expression, language and music can exist only if the experience is fresh and new.
