Well, here's a clear sign that we are winning hearts and minds--and it will introduce you to the word 'fanboy':
The Taliban's former ambassador to Pakistan has been outed as a fanboy for the iPhone.
Despite banning most forms of new technology when in power it seems even the Taliban have bowed to the force of Apple's marketing.
Mullah Zaif told al-Jazeera's man in Kabul Hamish Macdonald he was addicted to the handset and internet access was really fast.
Macdonald said, "He proceeded to show myself and our film crew his favourite websites. I half expected him to log on and show us 'Taliban Twitter'."
Just last week, a Nato bigwig said he'd seen Afghans happily chattering away on iPhones, and that this was clearly a sign of progress for the long war torn country.
