Gosh, and here I was expecting to read about camel races or camel polo or something like that....

When the iron fist of Talibanic rule was finally abolished in Afghanistan, one of the things the Afghanis were happiest about was being able to play the sport they consider their national pastime again, and they were eagerly teaching it to the foreign servicemen there. In effect, it consists of polo played with the head of a goat (mummified, I hope). If they think the Taliban and the Marines were tough, wait'll PETA gets their troops in there! just a joke, I support Animal Rights to a point, I'm just not wacky about it. Obviously a cruel sport. But at this particular moment, and in light of recent events, no special interests seemed to raise an eyebrow over this report broadcast internationally on CNN. Guess everyone was just glad to see these poor people happy again, if only for a moment...and justifiably so.
