Images of Afghanistan

To be hopeful for Afghanistan’s future we may find it helpful to look back at an era in it’s recent past when the nation was at peace.

Here we are reminded of a time of open borders, a bustling economy, and a generous and welcoming people. Afghanistan was then a nation with a thriving intellectual community with free exchange of ideas, respectful of it’s rich cultural heritage and willing to embrace its ethnic diversity.
