This article depicts writer Juan Tamayo's journey to Afghanistan to cover the U.S. war on terrorism. "I don't know whether Afghanistan will ever achieve peace or progress, or even a semblance of either. My time there was far too short to really comprehend that sadly tormented country of 25 million people. But I do know that Afghanistan is a magically alluring place of warm people armed to the teeth, of valor and treachery, of friendly hugs and behind-the-back conniving, of almost inconceivable backwardness and impossibly dramatic landscapes. And of memories that linger weeks after I left in mid-December [2001]." (MIAMI HERALD).
