Remembering 9/11

Remembering this day 20 years ago.
The world changed forever.
War is a catastrophe. One can only hope that events like this don't happen again.

These are Afghan "war" rugs.
Most likely woven by women and children (the most vulnerable victims of war) in villages and refugee camps.
Last year, Afghans were the world’s second biggest group of refugees after Syrians.
I reckon, they are now the biggest.

The date 19=3=03 is the day of the invasion of Iraq

Afghanistan has a long tradition of carpet weaving.
A rug takes eight months to a year to make; some villages make 20 rugs a year.
It's sad that modern Afghan rugs depict war.
Lets home that one day, peaceful designs will return.
