In 2001 the Taliban swept through Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley. Their target was the colossal stone Buddha statues which had stood for over 1500 years. The world watched powerless as one of its true wonders was lost. In Rebuilding Bamiyan Al Jazeera's Nadene Ghouri travels to Bamiyan to explore the restoration work being done on the site, and to talk to those planning to rebuild the statues.

The desecration of human life is of course the biggest horror of any war, but the loss of these Buddha's in Afghanistan and the ancient Mosque's in Iraq made me weep. I only just watched the special on PBS, so incredibly beautiful, I would love to travel there. I wish them peace. Why can we not respect another's belief even if we disagree?
