[QUOTE=JaegerMonster;30945724]No its not???
Dirt and rocks in a small percentage of the area do not make a desert. If it was a desert it would not support the growth of poppy fields and grains

They aren't planting that shit in the desert soil it's on top of a bed of artificial fertilizer and god knows what else.

Looks like a desert to me man
"THERES BROWN SHIT AND ROCKS, THIS MUST BE A DESERT"
Again, cherry picking pictures of various areas that look dusty doesn't make it a desert. Nor does the presence of dirt or grassless areas. Besides, A) some of those pictures aren't even in Kandahar, B) two of the pics you posted show what kandahar is: Steppe

Hell I live in a tropical climate and I can go take a 15 minute drive in my car and take photos of a huge area of dirt and relatively little plant life if you like, but that doesn't make a desert.
Man, Canada rocks.
No cherry picking, i just google-imaged afghanistan and picked what wasn't a map or a pic taken in one of the cities. I'm not trying to be biased.
It may not be as dry as death valley or the sahara, bit I'm pretty sure it's mostly in a desert
Anyway, not that it matters much, It's just a pet peeve of mine when people assume Afghanistan is a desert (because of the Iraq war, I guess), because its not and it's a really beautiful and varied country.

Totally, so many people don't realize it snows in the mountains.

Afghanistan is most certainly not a desert.
Edit: Fuck that picture is nice. Almost makes me want to move there.
