In the 1960s and 70s Afghanistan was depicted in the media as the romantic haven of nomads and a resort for hashish-smoking hippies; in the 80s it was seen as a country where brave warriors fought against the evil Soviet empire, and in the 90s redrawn as a semi-feudal land ruled by warlords and Islamic fundamentalists.
