Concerning the Afghanistan thingy, I know a guy in Montreal from there. He’s 37, smart, articulate and fashionably leftwing in his politics.

He travels to Quebec City to throw rocks at the recent international clusterf**k. Goes to McGill University to shout down conservative knuckledraggers like David Frum.

Does the whole Che Guevara wannabe number.

So I ask him since he’s progressive and all, how come he doesn’t do something to protect his sisters in Afghanistan who get acid thrown in their faces for trying to go to school to learn how to read.

He doesn’t answer at first, then he implies that it’s someone else’s job since he couldn’t do much by himself. (His Daddy lives in Amsterdam, not Kabul.)

Probably a lot more comfortable over here and anyway the dumbass Americans will do it for him and he gets to hate them at the same time. Two for one, a nice deal. Clever lad.

Help them out, naive American friends, same way clever Billy Clinton helped out the wrong side in Bosnova/Kosithing, from 15,000 feet, no closer.
