Everyday, around mid-afternoon, a current of neatly dressed school boys pour over the sidewalks of New Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta. Groups of friends stay close to each other, playing affectionately. Some have their arms around each other’s waists, others in each other’s hair, and still others with their hands clasped, fingers laced between fingers.

The French thought they got rid of theirs back in the sixties. All of them, all at once. You know, during that one protest. Remember?

Al-Qaeda propaganda videos surfaced today, apparently telling the story of a desperate terrorist organization.
