Afghanistan Idol

They can kill every single member of the Taliban for all I care. But in the end, it looks like Afghanistan's version of American Idol might just help win this war. Bridget Johnson:

Somewhere, in a mountainous lair, a bunch of Taliban are sulking at the cultural sensation that eats away at lingering loyalties to their brand of conservatism. Some are also, likely, secretly singing along or voting.
Couldn't we win their hearts and minds with a better show? Do they have South Park in Pashtun?
