nes-pa?
 
The ground war in Afghanistan heated up yesterday when the Allies 
revealed plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist 
philosophers into the country to destroy the morale of Taliban zealots 
by proving the non-existence of God.
 
Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or 'Black Berets', 
will be parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt, despondency 
and existential ennui among the enemy.  Hardened by numerous 
intellectual battles fought during their long occupation of Paris's Left 
Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of pavement Cafes 
at strategic points near the front lines. There they will drink coffee 
and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of life and man's lonely 
isolation in the universe. They will be accompanied by a number of 
heartbreakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further spread dismay by 
sticking their tongues in the philosophers' ears every five minutes and 
looking remote and unattainable to everyone else.
 
Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his 
confidence in the success of their mission. Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, 
a very intense and unshaven young man in a black pullover, gesticulated 
wildly and said, "The Taliban are caught in a logical fallacy of the 
most ridiculous. There is no God and I can prove it. Take your tongue 
out of my ear, Juliet, I am talking."
 
Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man's nauseating 
freedom of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the 
films of Alfred Hitchcock. However, humanitarian agencies have been 
quick to condemn the operation as inhumane, pointing out that the 
effects of passive smoking from the Frenchmens' endless Gitanes could 
wreak a terrible toll on civilians in the area.
