A New Afghan Concept--Death-Free Soccer
According to this story from Reuters, via Bayarea.com, Kabul residents are enjoying watching and playing soccer in their stadium without having the games interrupted by executions (often the family of the victim was forced to carry them out). They also get to play in shorts, and to actually applaud (you know, clap your hands together) the rare (it is soccer, after all) score, instead of chanting "Allahu Akbar!"
O tempora, o mores! Sounds like anarchy. Just give them a few millennia--they'll be begging for the Taliban to come back.
