It's a shame Afghanistan is so plunged by conflict in all the years of my life I've known it.

Geographically it's one of the most interesting regions on earth due to its mountainous terrain. (There is a reason a lot of buddhist monks went there to meditate)

I don't know if I will see it free in my lifetime, sadly. But I hope my children and grandchildren can see Afghanistan in a different light.

Yeah, oh shit, the landscape is gorgeous. I got to see the western quadrant from the open door of a helicopter and it was like flying over a country from a fantasy novel.
