A delightful peek into Islam, from those crazy Taliban cats: http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/05/taliban-pakistan-flogging-islam-opinions-columnists-tunku-varadarajan.html. What a great bunch of guys and outstanding way of life they have going over there. Sure, they're not all Taliban, but for these creeps to dominate a region, the people there have to accept or tolerate a certain level of behavior that is barbaric by any standard (except their own). This has been touched on here before, but it's another reminder of the highly uncertain, thankless task we have before us. Of course, it would be helpful if during Obama's triumphant European tour he could have somehow convinced the Euros to send along something beyond another six pack of Schwepp's to help the effort. After all, this shit is happening in their backyard, not ours. Some things never change--we lift, they complain.

The song "Shiny Happy People" kept playing in my head as I read the article/watched the video.
Uplifting!
