The Face of Freedom, for all the world to see.

This is what our enemies hate most in us. Such for retribution.

Now, to see if the Afghans can or will sustain it, within themselves....

Thank you for posting these wonder photos!
Such lovely faces, and the smiles are tremendous!

[Saundra Duffy]

God bless America! (Those photos made me cry.) Thank God Almighty, they're free at last. For victory & freedom!!!

Imagine being afraid to let the sun warm your face or walk outside the door without an approved escort...these women and their sons and daughters must feel so happy after years of being terrorized by the morality police...simple joy in being alive.

Great pictures, thanks!

How long before Naomi Wolf jets in to tell them that they've only exchanged one form of oppression for another, and, BTW, that will be $20K per interview?

G d bless President Bush and the very brave US military.

These photos sell the idea that our guys (the Northern Alliance) are great and certainly polite to women. We hope they are. The Russian papers are showing the opposite. They are publishing photos of mutilated prisoners left bloody in the streets by the NA.

We certainly hope the NA boys are good like you say. We get the credit for their behavior--whether its good or bad.

I especially like the picture showing the school children using the yellow food-drop bags for bookbags. I have a feeling they did not throw the food away, either.

Talk about a tear jerker. I hope we never take our freedom for granted.

Here's a lovely lady who can now lift her veil to speak to her own daughter in public.

Best of all, N.O.W. had nothing to do with it!

[FReethesheeples]

Mega-dittos!

[Classicaliberalconservative]

This is very heartening to see.

[dr_who]

Well now.... ain't that cute.

[ELS]

Those are beautiful pictures! Thank you for posting them.

[Bullish]

Wow! That really warms the heart!

I'm so glad we freed them from the nazis taliban.

[sump pump]

These pics are truly wonderful. With regret though I think that this period may only be temporary. I don't expect their lives to be as horrible as under Taliban rule but it will be a long time before they have anywhere near the amount of freedom I believe they want - the freedom their faces so beautifully show. Such freedom cannot be had until Afghan society in general gets its house in order and adopts a democratic means of government. Both men and women need to work together to achieve that end.

I wish them God's blessings and Godspeed in their fight.
