A classic quotation

[link|http://www.hackworth.com/article12072001_1.html|Source]

"Talking to a Taliban warrior about improving his quality of life is like trying to teach an ape how to hold a pen; eventually he just gets frustrated and sticks you in the eye with it."

An apt simile indeed. They do it with airliners too.
