This is exactly what I've been wondering! Knowing that there are people in this country from Afghanistan and imagining that many of them have adopted American culture to the point where it doesn't matter what their child pretends to do onscreen, I find it reprehensible that children's lives were put in danger for a movie scene.

I get the feeling from the spin on stories about Kite Runner that we're supposed to think "isn't Afghani culture horrible?" but I think "a child is in danger and this is going to make more people want to see a movie! What's wrong with OUR culture?"
