"Everything is expensive here. Only one thing is cheap: human life."
"Time flows as it wills, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Summers and winters come and go. And no one cares. Ask anyone here in Kret Village how many summers have passed in their lifetime.
Few would know the answer.
Blankets of dust, mountainous veils, echoing cries, and the terror of war conceal the real face of Afghanistan-an ancient country whose grand civilization has been buried deep.
