Days after the Taliban had fled the city of Kandahar, the Magnum photographer Thomas Dworzak discovered portraits of men in high-heeled sandals with make-up - a tradition of the native Pashtuns long noted for their flamboyancy - hanging up alongside photographs of Hollywood movie stars. With sultry poses in front of often garish backdrops, this is an illicit side of the Taliban, not expected to be exposed.

Zealotry has many forms of madness, and the Taliban are no exception. In the Toyota Land Cruiser abandoned in Kandahar by Mullah Omar, the man who banned music on pain of prison and torture, was found a cache of popular music CDs.

Kandahar, a city of Pashtuns noted for their gaiety, so to speak, where Mullah Omar had made his final headquarters, has traditions of men in high-heeled sandals, with make-up of kohl and painted nails like sultry silent-movie stars. They liked to have their pictures taken and, because the Taliban most certainly needed passports, their vanities were accommodated in the hole-in-the-wall photo shops that exist in downtown Kandahar.

The Magnum photographer Thomas Dworzak, on war assignment for the New Yorker, discovered their photographs days after they had fled the city. They hung among portraits of Bruce Lee, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ahmed Shah Massoud, their faces retouched by the artful brushwork of the photographer.

As exotic backdrops the subjects have chosen chalets in the Swiss Alps, where the mountains are green and Julie Andrews sings, rather than the forbidding grey and brown of their own country. Some are alone, others with a friend or a Kalashnikov, with garish colours stroked into the theme, along with flowers. They were the killers who have fled, leaving behind an absurd record of their presence.

Excellent Quality Wire Lugs and Adhesive Heat Shrink Set
Size: 2/0 Awg - 3/8" (M10) Ring, Number of Items: 10
I recently purchased the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors along with the 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set from Amazon and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of this product! Firstly, the wire lugs are exceptionally well-made with heavy-duty materials. The copper construction ensures excellent conductivity, making them ideal for various electrical applications. The 2/0 American Wire Gauge size with a 3/8" ring terminal is perfect for my specific needs, and they fit securely on the cables, providing a reliable and sturdy connection. The wire lugs come with the corresponding 3:1 dual wall adhesive heat shrink tubes, which are an excellent addition to the set. These heat shrink tubes offer superior insulation and protection, making sure that the connection is secure and insulated against any potential damage or short-circuiting. The adhesive lining within the heat shrink tubes ensures a tight and waterproof seal, further enhancing the reliability of the connection. I found the installation process to be straightforward and hassle-free. The wire lugs are easy to crimp onto the cables, and the heat shrink tubes shrink perfectly around the connection using a heat gun. The adhesive within the heat shrink tubes bonds effectively, leaving no room for any moisture or contaminants to compromise the connection. Overall, I highly recommend the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors and 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set. The quality and performance of this product exceeded my expectations. Whether you're working on automotive projects, marine applications, or any electrical wiring projects, this set will undoubtedly fulfill your requirements. It's a fantastic value for the price, providing reliable and secure connections. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and I will definitely be purchasing more in the future for my upcoming projects. Don't hesitate – give this product a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Very nice battery lugs. They are not thin junk & they fit. I used a hydraulic crimper which gave me an excellent crimp. Well worth the money.
