#1 And the Egyptian pyramids were dedicated to the Sun God (Ra). Get a jack-hammer.

#2 Who remembers that the Taliban's "Roving Ambassador" accepted a Muslim Students Association invitation and spoke at the University of Southern California, on March 10, 2001? Years ago, I heard a tape of the speech, and when the destruction of the Buddhas was defended, the audience roared in approval. As for the alleged drug eradication, that is completely false. Taliban took a 15% cut of the Helmand drug industry then, and they do now.

#3 In reference to the Bamiyan Buddhas, mullah Omar is said to have issued the order: "Go ahead; it's only breaking stones."

I am beginning to believe it is time to break a certain stone in Mecca.

#5 I always wanted to ask Mullah Omar, "If it's only stones, why are you so nervous about them?"

#6 The US has recently issued a new deck of cards with all the art sites for Iraq and Afghan. They even have nice "thoughts of the day" on them. My favorite is "This site has survived seventeen centuries. Will it survive yours?" Maybe we should print them in Arabic and mail some out to AQI.
Check out some of the cards here:
