full story


Afghanistan is to compete in a beauty contest for the first time in more than 30 years and almost two years after the fall of the oppressive Taleban regime.
Vida Samadzai, 25, who has lived in the United States since 1996, will compete alongside 60 other women from across the world for the Miss Earth title in Manila, the Philippines, contest organisers said.

Ms Samadzai, or Miss Afghanistan as she will be known in the competition, will take part in all sections of the contest, including the swimsuit section.

It is a sharp contrast to the beliefs of the former Taleban regime, which demanded that women wear coverings, or burqas, from head to toe whenever they went out in public

How does someone who hasn't lived in the country since 1996 get selected to represent Afghanistan? Oh nevermind, I just remembered Chalabi . . .

LOL, As if she would ever go back to that sh!thole. Maybe in 30 years or so when it first becomes a third world country

So I guess you are saying a promise from the Bush administration to rebuild nations is worthless.

"He added that Afghan prosecutors may open an investigation, but refused to say what charges or penalties she could face."

How would you like to head up that investigation?
