Amazing Photos from Afghanistan: Thru Afghan Eyes Blog
I stumbled across this blog, ThruAfghanEyes and was mesmerized by the photographs.... I must have spent an hour looking through the whole blog.
The photos were taken by Fardin Waezi, a photojournalist in Kabul and they amazing. You really should check it out.
Afghanistan is not a land that many Westerners know that much about, except that our soldiers are there fighting. The culture, steeped in war, is a mix of tribal and modern that is really fascinating. One of the things that irks me most about the True Believers I come across daily is that "Kill the towel heads" attitude. If you think that this war is that simple you're either too stupid to grasp the complexities of the situation or just too ignorant to care. Spend an hour looking through some of these photos and you'll be as entranced as I was!
