I don't mind people putting their opinions out there, but the " facts " this guy was throwing out were garbage...

Sad some hit something like this and don't question any of it

Hey, I like your cultural posts. When you did your Afghanistan one, I was at the time researching for a setting in a story, and I greatly appreciated all your pictures. Here, too, what you have to say about Kashmir, geographically, culturally, and agriculturally explains a lot about what's going on in the region without the historical or political detail. Though certainly those don't hurt, either.

I agree with you, Niki, I think it's very important to understand the people in a region before you can begin to understand their politics or conflicts.

Boy, yeah; if we'd taken ANY time to understand the culture and people of Iraq...no, wait a minute, no matter how much understanding, Dumbya would have wanted to invade anyway,and HE would never have taken the time or energy to get to know what he was sending troops into. Sigh...but if our SOLDIERS and generals had been given the chance to understand the people and culture, as in Afghanistan, it might have made a big difference, don'tcha think?
