TIME has decided to go with a cover story in the US about how the Bible should be taught in public schools. Everywhere else in the world, though, they’re going with a story called “The Truth About Talibanistan”, about the resurgence of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
Check the covers:
Regular readers might recall that Newsweek pulled the same bullshit last September — which, coincidentally enough, was ALSO about the fact that while we’re wasting our time (and soldier’s lives) in Iraq, Afghanistan is slipping back to the Taliban.
Perhaps they thought the U.S. edition should focus on the American Taliban?
Ow. Yes, perhaps you are right. Too bad most of the public won’t even know about the other covers, though.
