What has happened in the arc of countries from Pakistan through Morocco blows up the concept of Whiggish history. All these countries have de-evolved.

Kind of like Iraq, B.C. (Before Carter)

Not an AK-47 in sight.

This is a vivid reminder of the satanic evil called radical Islam that destroys every material and spiritual entity that it touches.

Photographic evidence that these monsters are evil.

Fascinating photos. The country still looks poor but smiling men - how unusual is this now? Handsome men! And, those wonderful, sleek 60s styles on the pretty girls. Some of those men and women are alive today. Nostalgia must have a whole different meaning for them...

The article tries to blame the changes on “33 years of war”. That isn’t the problem. What the hell does war have to do with burkas?

It's still going on, if you're father is a mullah or politician in Iran. Sharia is for the little people.

It just shows that anything Islam touches will eventually turn to sh*t. Just look what is happening in the UK and Europe and what is creeping into America.

I dunno . . . looking through all the pictures, there are almost no women. The ones you can see are foreigners.

Afghanistan is a casualty of the Cold War. First came the communists to end the modern monarchy. Then came the Soviets to prop it up against Islamic forces wanting to return to earlier Caliphate times. America gave the Islamists (Taliban and Al-Quaeda) the tools to do the job. The Islamists repaid America by attacking the twin Towers.

America responded by fighting the whole of Islam across the mid east and inviting them to resettle here. As much as I admire Reagan, this was the wrong time to "liberate" Islamists from the Communists just as it was for Carter to relinquish support for the Shah of Iran. Both Bush's are assholes for dragging us into wars among Islamists for the benefit of the Saudis. Clinton is an asshole for not retaliating for attacks against Americans and its military abroad. Obama is an asshole for being a Muslim. Its tough being led by decision makers not acting in our interests.

I am about ready to give up on the human race. Throughout history masses of people have followed evil leaders like Stalin, Hitler and Zero. But going back to the seventh century which could well result in the end of Western Civilization (with the cooperation of our Western “’rulers”) well that takes the cake.
