Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left, shake hands with Afghan President Hamid Karzai after a news conference in Dushanbe, Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Ahmadinejad called for a cease-fire in Lebanon and lambasted U.S. policy in the Middle East on Wednesday, saying the United States wanted to 'recarve the map' of the region with Israel's help.

This is like that scene in Purple Rain where Appollonia was having drinks with Morris Day behind Prince's back. Will Bush start shrieking out his version of "Darling Nikki"???

6. To be fair

The two countries do share a border, and I find the generic odd photo-op like this far preferable to yet more sullen staring across fortified borders in that part of the world.

8. yep, you got that right

I wonder how that is going to play with the Whitehouse. I think I will send a copy of this picture to send to my congresswoman. This was our money that put Karzai in power.
