Another collection of photographs posted by the Big Picture, depicting the complex issue of Afghanistan.  My hope is that we’ll find a way other than violence to deal with the problems facing this nation.  To help them help themselves without resorting to try and kill the problem away.  I don’t think we can just pull out and leave them fend for themselves.  We bare a historical responsibility to provide aid, but not through the barrel of a gun.
