Afghan text books

Remember those evil text books which the Taliban was using to warp the minds of children? It seems you and I supplied them. Thats right, as part of our jihad against the Soviet Union we supplied texts to Afghan children emphasizing righteous religious violence as the answer to all their problems. I'm glad the law of unintended consequences doesn't apply to American foreign policy... Great Satan, Evil Ones, whats the difference? Apparently not tactics.

When the ant forms an alliance with the 800 pound gorilla, it just too easy for the 800 pound gorilla to accidentally step on the ant.

In this case it was a fireant.

If we are not careful we may find that the ant has become the gorilla and the gorilla the ant. Hmm.. Jags fireant works better I'll steal that for a future rant.
