I sat in on an interview today with a Pakistani veterinarian with a masters degree in livestock production who is a mid level exec for Hormel foods and consults with Land-o-lakes. He has big ideas about how to modernize the Afghan meat processing industry.
But all I could think of the whole time was this: A Pakistani noir detective movie set on the hardboiled streets of Islamabad. Our hero is a private eye investigating a string of mysterious murders that might be linked to Taliban opium smugglers. At one point he brutally kills a thug sent to murder him in his own office. This upsets the sensibilities of the beautiful woman caught up in a world of crime and violence she knew nothing about.
"Oh Shadaz! Did you really have to kill him?"
While taking a deep drag on his cigarette and adjusting his cuff link, "Hey doll, this town ain't called Islama-good."
