I despise the wretched Communists to the core of my heart and nothing will ever change that. However I came across this art and felt I had to share it. It gives a different perspective on Afghanistan and I am of the belief that if we ever want to expand our horizons for learning then we must observe all perspectives. Afterall we will learn more from our enemies than we ever will from our allies.
Please enjoy.
