24 August 1998 - Taliban influence

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

How to win friends and influence people, the Taliban way!

1. Choose a random behavior, like looking at photographs or flying kites.
2. Find a way to interpret it as irreligious. Forbid it.
3. Patrol for criminal kite flyers and gently educate them with clubs or rifles.

OK, so they skipped the winning friends part, but they make up for it on influencing people.

clue:

The Islamic Taliban faction is in charge of much of Afghanistan.
