The View From The US vs. The View From Afghanistan
Would they be aghast over the cover photo of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (aka "Lady Gaga") posing with machine guns pointing out of her breasts? Would they be outraged by such a flippant treatment of violence? Would they wonder why the military officer making life-and-death decisions regarding their country saw fit to discuss his efforts in their country with a magazine generally focused on pop culture? Would they wonder why "serious" journalistic outfits such as the New York Times and Washington Post never dug deep enough to reveal the general's contempt for the civilian leadership?
More broadly, would Afghans wonder why the country that purports to desire the betterment of the lot of women in Central Asia has no females (or for that matter ethnic or religious minorities) in the upper echelons of its military establishment? Would Afghans wonder what they ever did to deserve having such a hypocritical, decadent and ineffectual power poking and prodding at them for nearly a decade now?
If Afghans don't end up asking these questions, at least we Americans should.

Everybody's ga-ga for a little dumbocracy at the end of a mammary-mounted machine gun. Just ask those satisfied Afghan customers...
Excellent post, Michael.
Also a very fine juxtaposition of images--they reveal the Moronic Inferno in both theory and practice.
Agreed. We aren't doing them any good. I say let them live at the mercy of the leaders of the Religion of Peace. Let them be the victims of their own twisted culture, just like we are. Pick your poison, either way it's a lousy way to go through life. At least here a foreign power isn't forcing their twisted ways upon us...unless you consider our government a foreign power.

So let's discuss some safety pros & cons here: Less militant product checkers at exit doors, (why do they do this anyway?) For instance, if you are looking out for forklift bearings, You can check the inventories and find out if they sell forklift mast bearings or carriage or load wheel bearing. As with all management jobs, the role of warehouse manager demands excellent interpersonal skills. In addition to dealing with employees on a daily basis, warehouse managers are also required to meet with new and existing customers to establish their needs and deal efficiently with any problems that may arise. This makes it possible for them to apply for a licence and grants them the legal right to operate a forklift in the workplace for as much as 60 days after completion of the course.
