As a group concerned with material culture - what are the thoughts of the
HISTARCH audience members on the state of affairs in Afghanistan regarding
the Taliban's destruction of the Buddha statues?  Here's a web address for
today's news (Thursday March 1st)
http://www.infoculture.cbc.ca/archives/misc/misc_03012001_buddhas.phtml
that discusses the issue.
Are there any comments or opinions on what may be the responsibilities of
the international cultural heritage community?
Just curious and thought this may be a good place to hear some debate about
it from an informed audience.
Cheers,
Heather
