These fascinating photographs from Afghanistan in the 1960s

They aren't "fascinating," they are sad. They are proof of how a civilized society can collapse and regress very quickly. Look at pictures of Iran or Lebanon from the 1960s. The difference is just as sad.

Lebanon is more civilized than you think, there's still some Christians in Lebanon.

Cultural revolutions in Cambodia, Iran, and elsewhere in the 1960s and 1970s. Murdered those who were politically incorrect, even pop stars.

WWII was not the last genocide by a wide margin. And the Left is on the wrong side of history.

Iran has mellowed some since the Revolution. Women can get away with just wearing a scarf in public instead of the full beekeeper suit like in the Sunni Arab states. And it's more like Jersey Shore at private clubs and homes at least for the rich.
