An Afghan man leads a donkey carrying his wife at the Shahr-e-Gholghola on a hilltop overlooking Bamiyan province on Nov. 9, 2009. Bamiyan, located some 200 kilometres northwest of Kabul, stands in a deep green and lush valley stretching through central Afghanistan, on the former Silk Road that once linked China to Central Asia and beyond.

These photos are amazing.
These photos are amazing. Really great work. I think they show the reader the image of Afghanistan without going too overboard or trying to send a political message. The photographer simply recorded what he saw and nothing more. I actually have a Marine in the family who will be headed to Afghanistan in the coming weeks. He got a Canon G11 digital camera for Christmas and I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures he takes.

Afghanistan
This is part of the new style and most, if not all, without knowledge is based on opinion, rather than fact. A good necessary uses this to fulfill long term goals. Nick

These photos provide stark
These photos provide stark illustration of a few key points. First, study these men's faces. These are some tough MF's. They will never bend to our will, even though our (American) will is not to subjugate them like former invaders including the Soviets and Taliban, but rather to elevate them to a civilized way of life that would involve rejection of inhuman practices such as dogfighting, terrorism, and Islamic fundamentalism. Leading to point #2: Look at the way they squat about in the dirt. These are a bunch of primitive savages. Call me a bigot, I don't give a s**t, that's what they are. We drive out the Taliban (for whom I have nothing but loathing) and they revert to two things the Taliban banned: dogfighting and that ridiculous dragging around of goat carcasses. Probably the only two Taliban policies I would applaud. Back to the point, these primitive savages have no interest in cooperating with us in opposing terrorism, nor do they have any interest in elevating their society to some level of civility. Their only interest is in preserving their age-old traditions of local power mongering, subjugation of females, and barbaric pastimes, fueled by their opium crops and, sadly, the blood cult of Islam. And without interference from any national government. Nor could these savages care less about our welfare or denying terrorists their country as a training ground for attacks upon us. How many Afghan "soldiers" we have supposedly trained have already turned the guns we provided them against our own personnel? American lives and dollars are being spent in vain. The only way to deny this god-forsaken place to the terrorists would be to lay waste to it until it was uninhabitable. Not a realistic solution, I admit. I wish I knew what is.
