	abstract = {Most cultural reasoning today is done by anthropologists andsociologists who use their detailed knowledge of culture to
make predictions about how a given group will respond to a
given situation. The main problem with this is that experts
in a particular culture or subculture are few and not readily
accessible to the many who might suddenly need to tap their
expertise (e.g. in cases of war or conflict). In this paper, we
briefly describe how the SOMA (Stochastic Opponent Mod-
eling Agents) paradigm proposed by the authors can and has
been used to model the behaviors of various stake-holders in
the drug trade in Afghanistan.
