To do rebuilding on a decent, pro-people level now requires armed protection, so how much in the way of troops do we need to even protect peace workers?</p>egilpatrWed, 25 Mar 2009 11:25:42 -0000http://rethinkafghanistan.com/blog/?p=112#comment-7494285<p>In The World 10, Winter: Afghanistan and New York, is my latest "In The World" anti-war painting. This contrasts a portrait of an Afghani woman in the snow and Afghani hills, with a winter view on my 17th floor, New York City terrace in the snow. The caption that accompanied the photo of the woman was "Heavy snow began falling after the [2009] new year; 1300 Afghans are estimated to have died from cold this winter." The artist had permission to use the photo as a basis for the painting from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC). <a href="http://www.gilpatrickart.com/gallery2_people/people_painting-01.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.gilpatrickart.com/gallery2_people/people_painting-01.htm">http://www.gilpatrickart.co...</a></p><p></p>egilpatrWed, 25 Mar 2009 11:24:25 -0000
