Afghan Photos
UOTE
Before the U.S. invasion, before the Russian war, before the Marxist revolution,
Afghanistan used to be a pretty nice place.
An astonishing collection of photos from the 1960s was recently featured by the Denver Post.
Amateur photographer, and college professor, Dr. William Podlich took a leave of absence from his job at Arizona State to work with UNESCO in Kabul, bringing his wife and daughters with him.
Later, son-in-law Clayton Esterson revived the later doctor's photos and put them on the web. The response was amazing.
Esterson told the Denver
Post: “Many Afghans have written comments [on our website] showing
their appreciation for the photographs that show what their country was like
before 33 years of war. This makes the effort to digitize and
restore these photographs worthwhile.”

Afghanistan is a dangerous place for us. But then
look what our wonderful governments did to them. At least they had the gumption,
the courage, moral strength to do something about it. This makes them unlike the
people of England, America,
Australia,......
Wehrmacht surplus helmets?
Girls going to school, learning to read, getting ideas above their station? Dreadful. It will be votes next.
Traffic jams too? Bomb them back into the Stone Age. Let them walk, healthy exercise.
No veils there.
