Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 04, 2009

Men of this region,let’s say, are known to “enjoy” the “company” of young males. It’s a “cultural” thing and considered quite “normal” GEE1A.

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”

Um, GEE1A, the Taliban stoned people to death for smoking hash or homosexuality. This guy isn’t Taliban, he’s just a warlord.

Yep, he’s just your normal, everyday Afgan grin

Havoc, the CIA dude, has a girl…is he any better than “Habib”?

Without trying to bend the dialog and read into it what isn’t specified within the text of this strip. Akbari suggests that Havoc’s female receptionist should contact his male assistant. In Afghanistan, I don’t believe women openly participate in a man’s job.

Read “The Kite Runner”.

He’s trying to build tribal relationships and hook his son up with the CIA guy’s daughter

In neighboring Iran, they have none of that stuff going on, sez Ahmadinnadodajob.

How easy to forget the Taliban accepted 50 million from the US to be “partners” in the war on drugs in May, 2001. Of course, now that the drug trade funds their operations, they make 400-500 million per year on the crops.

It’s called “The Federalist System.” You know. The ninth and tenth amendments.

This is happening under the Obama administration!?!?!?!?

Excuse me wus two, perhaps you need to “bone up” on your anthropology.
