quote:Afghans Taste Freedom...
Gordon Trodd in Kabul...
Just 4 days ago, as we liberated their city, these people peered at us through their beards and burqas. Yet today, the men's chins are clipped - and the women - oh yes the women! Their faces are back in make up. And thanks to the new figure hugging clothes I brought through in my back pack, they've rediscovered their waists and some are even refusing food aid parcels! Their daughters show the first signs of anorexia, and I have to say, there's plenty of time before that becomes a problem. Right now, it's an absolute delight. Parts of this city are now just like Amsterdam - only better.
Elsewhere, children play happily in the dust. Half an hour ago I helped an excited group skin a dead taliban fighter and turn him into a kite....
There is peace here this evening - the disagreement with my cameraman about who technically entered the city first is over - a white man's body lies feeding the first flies of winter - and I will be using a video phone from now on.
I think this Autumn we will indeed see bikinis in Kabul.
From the people who brought you 'Bushwhacked'... |
