Have You Been To Afghanistan?


A friend of mine worked for the UN in Kabul for many years. In his position he saw a lot of *beep* but he also told me how (naturally) beautiful the country was. The beginning of the film paints a very pleasant picture of Kabul and there should be no reason to doubt that it was actually like that before the invasions and subsequent wars.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has actually been there and got to know the people and the country.

No, but I've read a lot about the country when it used to be a popular destination on the "Hippie Trail" in the 60's and 70's. Shame it turned out the way it did.
