I heard on the radio last night the probable reason for the interest in Afghanistan. Apparently the next largest oil fields in the world are in and around the Caspian Sea, and the only route to get that oil out is through Afghanistan. Hence the CIA backing of Bin Laden and training of many militant factions to help him keep the Russians out. Apparently there are many over there that do not like Bin Laden because of his CIA ties. Unocal had contracted to build a pipeline through Afghanistan but backed out recently, he said. The interviewee also found it hard to believe that the US would go after Bin Laden for the above mentioned reasons.

I was provoking debate...nukes won't fix this problem. Closing down some borders would help.

Like the U.S. (home of terrorists like the Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh, and probably whoever bombed the Olympics) But wait, there's more! << Consider the year 1985, when media concern over terrorism peaked. The major single terrorist act of 1985 was the blowing up of an Air India flight, killing 329 people. The terrorists had been instructed in their craft in a paramilitary camp in Alabama run by Frank Camper, where mercenaries were trained for terrorist acts in Central America and elsewhere. According to ex-mercenaries, Camper had close ties to U.S. intelligence and was personally involved in the Air India bombing, allegedly a "sting" operation that got out of control. On a visit to India, Attorney-General Edwin Meese conceded in a backhanded way that the terrorist operations originated in a U.S. terrorist training camp, in statements that were barely reported in the press. >> unet.univie.ac.at etherzone.com www-benning.army.mil
