I find it ironic that a Japanese research team seems not to have had a single working flash camera.

Maybe someday we'll get to see pictures.

ITMT thanks for posting this.

"How 'bout a Fresca, huh?"

"Goes the show the value of the "international community" and UN. Did the international community also plea for the human rights of women living in Afghanistan under Talibal brutality?"

You got right. I too hated to see those statues destroyed, but they were murdering and abusing women every day. Where was the UN then? Of course, you can look at lost of countries arround the world and see abuses and the UN doesn't bat an eye.

They were blown to bits.

Not only that, but when you press the button to open the shutter, the camera makes a noise that sounds like "CRICK!"
