~ if photographs are considered idolatry by the taliban, why is osama bin laden allowed to have his face printed on the t-shirts peddled by taliban supporters? for that matter, since teaching english is also forbidden, why are the t-shirt slogans written in english? maybe the assumption is that only infidels will be looking at the shirts. since afghanistan has a literacy rate of 30%, it is safe to assume that 2/3 of the taliban cops will not realize this. or, perhaps the t-shirt hawkers are secretly thankful they live in the liberal state of pakistan, because the guys they are praising would bust their chops if they caught them breaking the rules.


~ are americans supposed to be offended by a burning u.s. flag? we can do that here if we want to, for pete’s sake. let’s see some ‘militants’ with the balls to burn their own flag.


~ sigh…when do we get back to the class war?
