Afghanistan: A Glimpse of War, officially opens Friday at the Canadian War Museum. Drawn from the work of two Canadian journalists who provided much of the material, the year-long show inevitably raises questions about news coverage as war propaganda in a politically fraught mission whose outcome remains uncertain. "The exhibition itself is not political," Andrew Burtch, the museum's lead historian for the show, said Thursday during a media preview. "Everyone has their own opinion and we actually invite them to share their opinions in the gallery," he added, gesturing to pencils and paper placed at small kiosks around the exhibit. "We're interested to hear what people have to say because it's their history and it is something that is ongoing. There are debates going on around kitchen tables and workplaces and, no doubt, people will bring that with them into the (exhibit) space. "When they see the stories, they will react to them in their own way. But one way or the other, we're not trying to tell them what to think." It's a brave endeavour: hosting an exhibit, in the shadow of Parliament Hill, based largely on the work of journalists, while the conflict still rages overseas and Canadian soldiers are suddenly being investigated for allegedly beating prisoners - a development that could once again whipsaw deeply divided public opinion. Stephen Thorne, a Canadian Press reporter and photographer, and freelance documentary filmmaker Garth Pritchard anchor the show with their work from a series of assignments in Afghanistan covering Canada's early military deployment. As veteran journalists, they're both acutely aware of the perceptions and biases that news consumers apply to the media. They know those biases will follow patrons into the magnificent national war museum. "It could go one way or the other, depending on what people want to take from it," said Thorne. "I hope that people will come into this with an open mind and that they'll leave with something more than they came in with - that they're educated and informed by what they see and read here and that it will inform their decision, one way or the other, about ow they feel about Canada's role in Afghanistan." The exhibition, said Thorne, is not "designed to push them one way or the other. I think people will see what they want to see here - like they often do - and they'll take from it what they want to take from it." Rather than focusing on the many combat deaths and injuries that consume daily newscasts, the exhibit provides a bracing reminder of the roots of Canada's military involvement in Afghanistan, then traces the conflict through its small personal victories, heroics, tragedies and losses. A large newspaper editorial cartoon of an angry beaver growling, "Bring it on, Osama" conjures the public mood in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Photographs of black-eyed Afghan workers illustrate daily survival in a war zone. A dun-brown TAC-50 sniper rifle awes with its cool, deadly modernity. Video of a young, badly burned Afghan lad being attended by Canadian soldiers in his home is almost too difficult to watch, and unrelieved by a postscript noting he died the next day. The exhibit ends with a slide show of candid photos of the 44 Canadians killed to date in the conflict - happy family snapshots that are achingly sad. Thorne and Pritchard show tremendous respect - and in turn earned it themselves - for the Canadian soldiers they covered, but they have little time for those critics who say you can't support Canada's troops while questioning the mission. "Should we question what they're doing and how they're doing it? Every day, I hope," said Pritchard. "If it saves one Canadian life, it's worth it. I'm hoping that people come through little bits that we can show them - and when they leave they will realize what it's cost us. And yeah, they should question it." Thorne agrees, but ultimately comes down to a bottom line that's definitely not part of the official war museum exhibit. "I can tell you that if all of NATO pulled out right now, Afghanistan would be a bloodbath." ---------- JUNE 2 - SAT, General Assembly Meeting, VA AFGHAN AMERICAN CHAMBER of COMMERCE ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING 10:00am – 3:00pm At Afghan Restaurant 2700 Jefferson Davis Highway Alexandria , Virginia 22301 Tel: (703) 548-0022 Lunch will be served Afghan American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) is holding its Annual General Assembly Meeting at the Afghan Restaurant (2700 Jeff.

Alexandria , VA – Roya Hashimi, an Afghan- American entrepreneur recently traveled to her home town of Herat on a three-week mission to help better her people. Ms.Hashimi’s Elegance Fashion Boutique located on historic King Street in Old Town Alexandria has for the last 18 years custom designed and manufactured couture-quality wedding gowns and accessories for clients across Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. Recently, she took a chance to give back to her homeland. Using her business as collateral for a loan, she traveled to Afghanistan in April intent on transferring her experience, success and entrepreneurial know-how into a new business opportunity in the ancient city of her birth. The idea was to hire local craftswomen to manufacture dresses made from the same high quality materials and unique designs she uses in her American made garments. Then she would bring the completed gowns back, selling them at the King Street boutique and other retailers. All the profits would then be returned to Afghanistan . Those profits in turn would be used to build a school for young girls, who now must walk several miles, crossing a flood prone river to attend the nearest school. Upon arriving in Afghanistan Ms. Hashimi set out to find a space to build a modest manufacturing site, purchase sewing machines, transport the raw materials and find workers either willing or already able to use a sewing machine to manufacture her designs. There were a number of surprises along the way. Eager to work for the $30 a day Ms.Hashimi was offering, well above the typical wage of $10 for similar work, staffing wasn’t a problem. But there were obstacles. Only a few of those who applied knew how to operate a sewing machine. So, Ms. Hashimi offered some basic training and allowed interested applicants to take the sewing machines home to learn better how to make clothes with them. Men were also interested in the work, but initially refused to sit in the same space with woman. Ms. Hashimi used the power of the purse to convince the reluctant men that wanted to participate in the potentially lucrative venture, they would have to overcome their prejudices. Thirty dollars after all is a lot of money for a days work in Afghanistan . While only a first step, the process of unraveling centuries of prejudice against the woman of Afghanistan had begun. Now back in the U.S. , Ms. Hashimi is determined to make a difference. Once the sales of the gowns are complete, she plans on returning to Herat as many times as she can until the school is built. Eventually she hopes to have the factory self- sustaining, creating an engine of economic growth in the region. If you would like to speak with Ms. Hashimi about her exceptional efforts on behalf of the beleaguered people of Herat , Afghanistan , please contact: Ariell Kirylo, Sunstar, 1033 North Fairfax Street , Alexandria , VA. 22314 703-299-8390 akirylo@isunstar.com Or you can contact: Tony Kono SunStar 330 Madison Avenue Suite 987 New York, NY 10017 646.495.5343 (direct) 908.337.5774 (mobile) 646.495.5321 (fax) 703.299.8390 ( Alexandria , VA main number) tkono@isunstar.com --------- NOTE: Grant GRANT- Graduate School Asia and Africa, Martin Luther Univ., Germany The Graduate School Asia and Africa in World Reference Systems (Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) announces new grants for PhD students. 6 PhD grants are available, beginning Oct 1, 2007.

The new material includes: - The Musee Guimet (Paris), the French national museum of Asian art. Several hundred images, in the first instance from their Afghanistan and China collections. A great many of these objects are not otherwise illustrated on the Internet, even though the museum's own website is beautifully designed and very valuable. - The Louvre (Paris). Several hundred objects from the Near Eastern Antiquities and Islamic sections of the museum. While the Louvre's own excellent website covers a good part of what we have photographed, our selection often includes different views and images of objects which they have not yet illustrated. - The National Museum of the Middle Ages (Paris). A small selection from this interesting museum, highlighting textiles and ivories. - The Cathedral Museum (Uppsala, Sweden), a collection renowned for its medieval textiles. We are grateful to Lt. Col. Peter C. Barclay for providing some of the photographs. The image galleries in Silk Road Seattle include introductory comments on the museum and its collections, generally good to excellent quality enlargeable photographs, descriptive captions, and some reference material to hard- copy publications. Where possible, links have been provided to the coverage of the objects on each museum's own web page or to web pages with analogous objects in other museums'™ collections. This is an ongoing project to make materials available for education. We could use some help. Suggestions and contributions of material would be most welcome.
