The Farsi script above this cartoon reads, "Unmanly Crimes of Russia," a reference to the brutal and indiscriminate military campaign waged by the Soviet's in Afghanistan. An astonishing 1.3 million Afghans were killed in the war -- most of them civilians -- and millions more fled the country, mainly to Iran and Pakistan. Two decades after the Soviets' departure, Afghans remain one of the largest refugee populations in the world.
