I can't find it right now, but there is a picture that somebody doctored that shows a flight of B-52s with AA and UAL logos on their tails, and a "Nonstop Flights to Kabul" logo at the bottom. I wish I could find it right now.

"Afghanistan" is the way that should be spelled. I want to email it to my friends. Please hurry and change it! Thanks.
