Trash heaps throughout the city, feces on sidewalks, and armed guards at every street corner to hand out beatings — welcome to the new Kabul.

The once-modern capital of Afghanistan with a growing middle class has been plunged back into the Dark Ages, literally, as electricity is shut off at night, plunging 4 million people into darkness. This is life under the Taliban after their takeover two weeks ago.

I never thought I’d live to see the day when Kabul would be brought down to the level of San Francisco.

I think people are healthier in Kabul.

Hard to say, I think the only difference is one city does not celebrate diversity.

It has struck me recently watching news reports from Afghanistan how these people don't seem to mind littering.

Also, around the airport you keep hearing reference made to a "canal."

What's the difference between a canal and an open sewer? Just wondering.

None, their canal is an open sewer.
