Here is the Explosive action that took out the offending Buddhas carved into the side of a mountain in Bamiyan Province . Even thou the Buddhas had been hanging out on the rock some 2,000 years and won the first battle against tanks and artillery but lost the war against well placed high yield C-4 . Here is another view of the heroic action . in which the offending Buddhas were taken out.

Nice site - I got here from jihadwatch.org which I follow avidly. This destruction of the magnificent Buddhas was horrendous and was actually telling the world a heck of a lot about this cult called Islam. All the signs are there for us to see but it's a bit like the Emperor's New Clothes. .. Cathkins
