Mr. Yamagata may have been deeply moved by the misery of the orphans and other people of Bamiyan but that simply does not justify the projecting of the Buddha Images onto the cliffs where once the Stone Statues stood. I also hear that many governments and organizations from many countries were planning to re-build the Buddhas or do something similar at that site. Can these initiatives be justified too?

Buddha Images or Statues are not just things which can be destroyed by one group of people and be built by another for just purposes. The biggest fact of all is that there is no Buddhist in Afghanistan today. Mr. Yamagata also mentioned that his project is not driven by of for any kind of religious belief. Then... "Why the Images of the Buddha?"
