Here's one from the Hindustan Times:

A disabled Afghan man rides a motorised side-car down a Kandahar street on December 18, 2001. The man, who was wounded while fighting the Russians, built his contraption with the parts from three different motorbikes, and a bit of help from the UN. (AFP)

Meanwhile, from the Mindanao front:

"The Philippine Army Sgt. Edwin Corpuz feels the grip of a caliber 50/7.62 sniper rifle before the formal turn-over ceremony of US military equiptment Thursday, Dec. 20, 2001 at the Army headquarters in suburban Makati. The equiptment was part of what the U.S. President George Bush pledged to the Philippine government which was badly needed in its effort in fighting terrorism and the on-going operation to rescue two Americans and a Filipino hostage from the muslim extremist group the Abu Sayyaf.

Dear God I love my country.

I love Donald Rumsfeld. Go get that thumb, sir!

I love our military. The people. The machines. The ships. The planes. The weapons of war that pave the way to peace.

It is so awesome to see Rummy, whose first tour of duty as Sec'y of Defense was one massive post-dem clean up op, get a chance to work the job as a fighter. The fact that our military sprang to life so quickly after Clinton shows me something of what our service men and women are made of.

God bless America and all her people.

I was nineteen when I saw my first Bushkashi. Talking about a cultural shock. All these men screaming and shouting as the men on horse back hit a goat head (with the little tongue hanging out the side) with sticks. That was the first time I saw the fickle nature of these men. THey would run from one side to the other as the score changed. Didn't want to be rooting for the loser ya know.
