PB,

I stand by what I said. The War Rackets Department is wasting the treasury of the American citizen. Profligately engaging in wanton waste.

Re: You hassled over the price of a bale of hay, while the Northern Alliance cavalry charged the Taliban tanks and won

The hay bales were symptomatic of the way that the military disregards ethical accounting practices. Undoubtedly the prices negotiated on hay reflected certain alliances that have recently been formed between the U.S. government and powerful regional warlords.

Keep in mind that the U.S. government has made a deal with the Devil in Afghanistan. We have gone into business with the warlords and have left the average Afghani to twist in the wind and try to make a living off the largest opium poppy crop the country has ever produced.

In the regard as to who controlled the opium/heroin trade better, a case can be made that the Taliban attempted to keep the drug business under control, whereas the U.S. government seems to have turned a blind eye to this drug epidemic in progress.

Makes ya wonder whose side the U.S. Government is on..... <ng>

Salaam aleikum, Ray
