| #12 "Mmmm! Why introduce a piece about the Philipines into a story about Afghanistan? I am missing something?" Yes. Wretchards point is that reality can be very strange indeed. I can think of no better source for bizarre situations than the Philippines. |

| #9 "...a lesbian supermodel?"With six children? I would guess not, unless she is so deeply closeted she would need spelunking gear to come out of it... |

| #6 She strikes me as kind of a throwback--- IIRC, in the 19th century Afghan women had the general reputation of being rather feisty, independent, and a dab hand with all sorts of weapons. In Kiplings' day, it seemed that the farther one went up into the mountains, the tougher and less constrained by purdah the women were. |

| #5 Thank goodness it's a British filmmaker intstead of Hollywierd. It will still manage to be anti-American, but at least it has a chance of being a good flick. |

| #1 Erin Brockovich, armed and dangerous, lol! I love it. Now this is the sort of Lone Wolf that is created in numbers in the West, especially in individualistic America, but in Afghanistan? Only a personal epiphany - whether inspired by a Police Chief father or a new and crazy mantra such as Tootpick's based upon a minor miracle - could overcome the horseshit indoctrination that keeps much of mankind down, bowing to royalty, bound to the locally favored "ism", or bottom-feeding is a cesspool like Islam. I'd love to help this woman out. She shouldn't have to worry about having a full clip. |
