The Kite Runner

Anyone else caught this movie yet. In regards to the Taliban it reflects the "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" quote. Indicates the similar problems found in the Church and Gov't when folks think they are above the law.

Lot of other stuff going on in the movie as well, all quite compelling.

Re: The Kite Runner

An excellent book also. Lots of insights into what a good thing the Afghan culture was before it was terminally disrupted with continuous warfare.

flow....
