Seamus&#8217; mission is to promote an understanding of this mysterious, complex and fascinating culture.<\/p>\n<p>In Seamus&#8217; words:<\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan\u2019s recent history is a roller-coaster of foreign involvement and abandonment, resulting in a global crisis the world continues to struggles with today. The country was granted hero-status by the West when it resisted the Soviet invasion. But the vicious civil war that followed the Soviet withdrawal, the rise of the Taliban and the al Qaeda attacks launched from its soil on 9\/11 made it into a pariah state. Afghanistan has been invaded, used and mythologized, but rarely understood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Help support Seamus and <em>A Darkness Visible<\/em> by donating on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/296425281\/a-darkness-visible-afghanistan\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all who have supported this project so far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only a few days to go before MediaStorm&#8217;s &#8216;A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan&#8217;\u00a0Kickstarter campaign officially ends!
