We've made it to 100 Osamas! There were moments when I thought we'd never see this day. It hasn't been easy, but the joy of seeing that brace of smiling Osamas up there for your delectation makes it worth it. It seems fitting that our hundredth Osama should be a young Pakistani news anchor, full of optimism and sparkling with energy.

He had us hooked chatting over chai in Karachi - there was so much to talk about. Pakistan is a very exciting place to be right now for a lot of reasons. For example, there's the nearby physical frontline of the Global War on Terror (aka the Gee WOT), impending political impeachment, stunning monsoon rains, delirious crowds preparing to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day on Thursday, and last but not least, the involuntary daily practice of gastrointestinal russian roulette.

We've only got a few days left but the Osamas are coming in thick and fast - don't forget to upload yourself if you are one, and if you know one, put him in touch with us!
