    I had to post this from the Irish Times today. It seems they are trying to convince the Taliban to give up the old resistance and be a modern consumer. Check it out and feel free to add your own translations/bubbles. This must have been drafted by some beaurocrat in Washington. The last slide with the Taliban dude doing his shopping is hilarious. They read right to left by the way.

    That cartoon meant absolutely no sense to me until I remembered they read right to left.

    This type of thing was hilarious around October 2001.
