Amir is an idiot

It's not Amir's fault that those boys raped Hassan. However, it is his fault that he continued to watch it and not intervene. It is understandable that Amir was afraid that if he stepped in they would do the same thing to him. He knew that probably would happen so he ran away and let his best friend be hurt. Throughout the story it makes me really mad how Amir can't just fess up to what he did. All his regret would go away and he could finally move on with his life. Him and Hassan would become good friends again. The guilt that he has is eating away at him for years and years. Why can't he just own up to it? If I were him, I probably would've had that conversation with Hassan a long time ago. It would have made it so they wouldn't have left and they would probably still be friends. It's sad to me that they are as close as brothers and this tragedy can seperate them for good.
