Yes, thanks, Stilgherrian, good pointer. Here is a set of US soldiers in battle in the Korengal Valley, and a picture set of soldiers with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), and life among the Afghans.

The Boston Globe's glorious photoblog The Big Picture has been running monthly photos essay on the war in Afghanistan, which they say they'll continue for "as long as necessary". Some overlap with what you've shown here, but many more fine images.

The real crime of the war is that those of us who are not involved are able to carry on with “normal” activities … pursuing normal lives while a few risk theirs

In my view all forms of entertainment should be cancelled for the duration of the war and the people and resources so released should be employed providing support to those in the field for the duration.

If on the other hand the war is unwinnable the sooner that is recognised the better

I find it morally abhorrent that any form of entertainment continues while others risk their lives, especially when so much of the entertainment is so puerile and aimed at the lowest common denminator or lower

Perhaps Peter Greenaway is right that cinema is dead not as a medium but in its message. Ironically if movies mean nothing then Joseph Goebbels and Leni Riefenstahl were wasting their time. I’m tickled by the connnection between Greenaway and Dan Brown. Looking forward to immersing in Leonardo’s Last Supper next week in Melbourne.

Oh W H Chong, you must not leave the blogosphere. Among the dross, your blog is golden. It sends me on fascinating tangents and is witty, erudite and perceptive. So I second Smithy: heartfelt plea.
