These two photographs – both taken during the recent visit of the Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani to Afghanistan to meet with Afghan Prime Minister Hamid Karzai – are rather interesting.
Although this is most likely just the magic of the camera at the moment it was clicked and signifies nothing of import, one wonders what could be done with these with some creative speculative energy. The body language captured in these is suggestive, although one is not sure suggestive of what. In the spirit of good humor, one wonders what the two are saying to each other, or what they might be thinking about each other, at this time.
Any ideas?
Two weak puppet leaders talking to each other through puppet strings
First picture
Gilani: Listen Hamid, do you know what’s going on behind the curtains.
Second picture
Karzai: You are as big a puppet, Yousuf, as I am, if not bigger. You should know what happens behind the curtains.
