When Aycock and Jordan arrived, they found a country in which entire villages were gone and danger lurked in seemingly inert farmland. There are mines everywhere. There's an estimated 6 million buried in that country. It's unbelievable how beautiful the countryside is until you come into the towns. There it seems there's not a building unscathed.
Every building is pockmarked by gunfire or rocket fire or grenades.
It's not going to be settled in our lifetime. There's too much hatred over there right now. It's going to take a couple of generations and then, maybe, there will be peace. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved. Site users are subject to our User Agreement .
