By allowing the systematic rape of the country through the pillaging of its history the occupying forces have attained a new low; not only in afghanistan but also in iraq

[TheOldNihilist]

Afghanistan has been raped so many times that now it expects to be raped, and when it isn't raped it acts insulted.

The only thing worth saving in that part of the world are the women and kids,the men are worthless tripe.

But fear not, the men are enslaving and destroying all the women quickly. So if we can live with dead kids on our minds (I'm guessing we can seeing we have mass murdered billions of children over the centuries) we'll be just fine.

Fuck Afghanistan,Fuck Israel,Fuck all of it.

Iraq is worse off... The cradle of civilisations remember?

[vegrin]

It is horrible to see these sites ravaged. So much history lost... Reza Husseini seems like an everyday hero that follows his passion under difficoult circumstances.

[Hippodemus]

Unfortunately the case around the world; even developed countries cannot guard against the onslaught of looters. Depressing. At least some of the more luminous items have been recovered -- like last year's solid gold Moche mask, found at a London lawyer's office.

but i need to money :)

[vidensodoacer]

In an area which has gone under as much cultural shifts as Afghanistan, this is despicable.

[leopodstanicky]

that´s the way it goes

[musky527]

It's criminal!!!

[d1molenaar]

And to think idiots say this channel is a mouthpiece for Al Qaida.

[mimeNo9]

The ruins of that mosque are stunning. It's hard to believe such exquisite structures were made by men so long ago with such care.

[mangamachine]

What a shame,so much lost. Great coverage Al Jazeera, well done.

[Lungyao1]

This is the cost of Freedom! right?????????

[islamthetruth1]

Thanks aljazeera for showing my home town....an places where i was raised up all my life

[DamNationDiplomat]

*sigh* it's sad that the world has come to this, but i suppose humanity has always been the same. Forget not, afganistan's great buddhas, now destroyed.

[brick4sale]

That's sad the Taliban destroyed the old relics and now it continues.

[shinada]

I'm extremely sad of this....

[chiefchumley]

All of the artifacts from human history should be regarded as sacred. It's a shame that poverty and greed takes these things away.
