First lady Laura Bush travels to Afghanistan

Visit meant to push for more rebuilding aid for war-weary country
BAMIYAN, Afghanistan - First lady Laura Bush, on a mission to highlight signs of progress in war-weary Afghanistan, ventured outside the capital Sunday to an area that symbolizes both the destruction and attempt at rebirth.
On her third visit to the country, the first lady flew into Kabul before boarding a helicopter for a 50-minute flight to Bamiyan province, the farthest she has traveled from Afghanistan's largest city.
The helicopter landed in a dusty field at a provincial reconstruction team compound operated by New Zealand. From there she could see the empty
niches in a cliffside where two giant Buddha statues once stood.
