The article is excellent, thank you. I would take exception to the author's statement that the only depictions of Afghanistan in film are the feature films "Friday", "Rain", "The Cyclist" and "Kandahar" (none of which I have seen). The original British Masterpiece Theater miniseries "Traffik", from which the recent "Traffic" was made, is partially set in Afghanistan, and serves the same purpose in that film as Mexico does in "Traffic," only, I would argue, better, because it sympathetically portrays the plight of the Afghani opium farmer who labors to feed his family. BTW, opium poppy pods are weird looking things. Available at better video rental sites or the usual places, like amazon.com. amazon.com
