Forty years of war in Kabul

This is one of the most telling images ever:


The person who took the photo on the right writes:
I took the photo of the bombed out Paghman Gardens in the spring of 2007. I had been in Kabul for several months and had searched for pics about what the old Afghanistan was like. A week or so later I took a day trip to Paghman and I seemed to recognize the area. I got home later that day and looked back through the photos online and finally came across the old photo with the two women in it. I drove back there the next weekend and tried to retake the exact same photo.
