Afghan history is fascinating, but I am suspicious of my information about the culture. Do women really get stoned for looking at a man the wrong way or for going without a veil? Is this common?

Being from Québec Canada, my only personal experience with some of the Afghans is in their production of hashish, one of the most appreciated in the world.
The city of Montréal has been known to be the hashish capital of North America for most of the late 60s through to the late 90s. I do not know anymore as I have moved away and no longer have contacts in that department of society.
Instead of sending only armed forces to Afghanistan, the Canadian government should call upon their local hashish smokers and work with them to deploy the Canadian Heart Forces in an attempt to make good use of the cultural bridges that get built in the trading of the substance.
In using such approach, the cause of development might just find the ground it is looking for instead of going on with the invasion of armed forces leading the way at the front.
Leave these armed forces at the back, in case the Canadian Heart Forces fail to move peacefully forward into the assistance that the population needs.

all i can think of is, don't people get hot with all those layers of clothes? i understand that it is a religious thing, but so many of the news casts i see show people walking around in thick layers of often black clothing.
all of my experiance of Afghanistan comes from the news, so what i've seen is intense devotion to religion, lots of sand, close knit families, and and what apears to be a great culture. unfortunatly, terrorism comes to mind a bit as well, but less than one would think.
what's it really like there? i'm afraid American news tends to be a bit one sided. every now and then i see BBC, a british news program, and it shows things a little differently, but even they don't have the insider's veiw.

Thanx dear for ur Views,, we watch news on Tv showing Afghanistan famous for Hashish,, and yes it is,, but we live in Afghanistan and in the most recent years we have abserved everything from near,, u know that now a days americans them selves are involve in this business along with Mafia,, but its the Media who never tells the fact,, and Americans make alot of money from it by exporting it to Europe and Russia, and at the end Afghanistan is blamed for this,,,
