Posted November 5, 201212 yr I don't have a ton of time to annotate all of these, there is lots to go over, if you have questions about something in particular, feel free to ask... enough commas for today. Maz-e-sharif is spelled a million ways in English though in Dari, Pashtu, Farci and Arabic it is essentially the same. It is a thriving city, home to the magnificent Blue Mosque aka Shrine of Hazrat Ali, cousin and son and law of the Prophets burial site. Many more to come... This thread has been brought to you by CJSOTF-A and Army Special Operations, good day.
November 5, 201212 yr Fascinating! Makes you feel like you stepped back in time a couple of millenniums.
November 5, 201212 yr It's sad to see a country that was once much more prosperous (back in the 1960s and earlier) and modernized fall victim to radical ideologies. Retronaut has some great images of what life used to be like: http://www.retronaut.com/2010/10/once-upon-a-time-in-afghanistan/

November 6, 201212 yr it would be cool to have a few of those more modern structures around the cleve -- like that apt bldg or home or whatev it is with the big balconies and gold dome and the istikbal furniture apt bldg. every single thing thats built does not have to be so all-american style all the time, i wish developers would at least look at other common bldg styles around the world once in awhile.
