I know about the Taliban and the horrible things they do to their people. But I’d like to know about the country in general - for example, what kind of industry does it have? What’s the geography like? How about a little of the country’s history? What was their culture like pre-Taliban?
http://www.icarp.org/afghan.html is a good collection of links explaining things about Afghanistan.
I’d relate some information, but I couldn’t hope to do the topic justice, so rather than do a poor job, I’ll cop out and let someone else do the job.
