I'm sure obama, mccain or bush will have them destroyed when we go to war there.

Great reminder that we don't begin and end with war. Art's the best thing that ever happened to us.

Those caves are remarkable and should be respected and continued to be preserved. They've lasted this long... it would be a shame to be destroyed by war (which would only be a short blip in its long history).

great . now the taliban will dynamite the place just like they did with the buddhas .
-
Interesting BBC would do a story on these caves... the entire landscape looks intricate and full of secrets.

We've come a long way baby. However, those are pretty amazing. The Buddhas were a tragedy, and It's a shame that the Taliban had to go arond blowing up their own country.
