Good Looking Young Men On T-Shirts

I'd rather see his mug shot on a T-shirt than Che's. Che is so yesterday, and his body must be really cold and moldy by now. This young man, on the other hand, is really hot, don't ya think? And he's a real freedom fighter, to boot. Yup. Struggling to overthrow one of the most oppressive regimes on the earth today, he is. It helps to have a really pretty face, too. All the girls on campus will want one.

Don't know who he is? His name is Ahmad Batebi. He's Iranian and rumour has it that he has found his way to the United States. The great Satan still manages to attract genuinely oppressed people to its shores. Funny, that. Shucks, though. I wonder if that might put a damper on the potential volume of T-shirt sales.

In all seriousness, if the rumours are true, Godspeed to him. He is very likely not in good health and could be a broken, beaten, disfigured man much older than his actual years.

Read Winston's account. He has something interesting to say about the Iraq connection.
