I thought this photo was pretty funny. Laura Bush, bringing her message of womens’ rights, education, and nice dressing to the women of Afghanistan.

Could she perhaps be taking some PR cues from Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan woman who won the 2004 Nobel Peace Price for mobilizing women from her country’s underclasses to plant over 30 million trees?  Naaa. Laura is sincere. She reads books.
