Hamid Karzai's brother owns some restaurants in Baltimore. They're pretty good.

And "The Helmand" in Cambridge MA (and other locations):

Apparently Mahmood also owns (or owned) a tex-mex restaurant in Boston.

Ka Forushi = Hay Market

I understand this article is about the restaurant, but its good to be fair. Taliban are hypocrites, but so were the Mujahideen with Ahmad Shah Masood and now his son. They were freedom fighters but they were also thieves who stole emeralds from Afghanistan's mines, smuggled and sold them to Pakistan (same people who fund taliban). They've made millions but afghans haven't seen a lick of it.

It's all a mess.

I didn't know Helmand was owned by the Karzais! I splurged there a bunch when I was in college!
