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.

More amazing images collected for a photographic retrospective of 2009 by The Big Picture. The contrast between all the photos, shot all over the world and depicting such a wide range of situations, is striking.
