    That is a seriously odd site.

    Afghanistan is rich in history and culture, and I would truly love to visit someday. Unfortunately for the foreseeable future and probably the remainder of my life, it shall remain unstable and too dangerous to visit as a turist....

    my thoughts too if Afghanistan was safe, I would love to pay respects at the tomb of the Mughal Emperor,Zahiruddin Muhammed Babur who is buried in Kabul.

    Things could get pretty bad in those days too as is evident from the the Maasir-i-Alamgir from the early 18th Century:

    Under Aurangzeb,there was a revolt by the Yusufzai tribe near Peshawar.Their leader was Muhammad Shah,who was able to rally support from the local Pathans (Pashtuns).The governor of Attock,Kamil Khan set out and fought with Muhammed Shah,he was able to defeat him and recover the imperial outposts.Shamshir Khan crossed the river Nilab and came towards Attock and entered the enemy's territory on the otherside of the river opposite Yusufzai lands.The rebels fled to the hills and waited for an opportunity, Muhammed Amin Khan Mir Bakhshi was despatched from court with 9,000 troops in all to crush this uprising,he harried and desolated their homes as far as possible,Aurangzeb ordered him to leave Shamshir Khan there and come to Lahore.
    sounds familiar?

    note: many Pathans consider Attock and Peshawar to be theirs historically.

    well they had a go at that in the 18th Century with Ahmad Shah Durrani:



    he is remembered as the father of the Afghan nation today

    Sorry had to correct something. I can't help remembering those huge ancient statues being destroyed by the Taliban some 8 years ago because of religion...

    I'd assume you'd have relatively better luck in Kabul, but wouldn't think you'd have much of a real chance either way. But at least in Kabul you'd stand a bit less of a chance of being stoned to death.
