A generation of National Geographic readers have been captivated by 'those eyes' of an Afghan girl frightened by war. As I travel around Kabul, I still see this photo hanging in many area shops. You also see the same emotion in the thousands of people living on the streets. The same desire for safety and security that refuses to envelop this nation.
This links you to the National Geographic story of Sharbat Gula, the Afghan girl with those mystical eyes.
