Uncle, this is a good paper. It describes perfectly the entire country of Kuwait. No Kuwatie knows anything at all about labor, Turks do all the work or specialists are hired and brought in to do specific tasks. The US, if it were a different society, would already have taken possession of Kuwaits natural resource, oil. I suspect that we are rushing headlong to a hydrogen economy, it will take less than 12 years to get there. We will reduce our dependence on oil by more than 50% sending prices to 1920 levels. The Kuwaitis will then and only then come to understand they failed to use their time wisely. The whole Arab universe, of OIL money being an historical manna, will disappear. In this disappearance, they will find that as a society, they themselves have failed, failed in every way to discover their human capital, freedom and liberty. This time is a time of awakening and a reshuffelling of the world, fundamentalism of all kinds has taken steps toward it's own destruction. Monopolies are fair game in times of transition, political monopolies and hegemony are the worlds great enemies. Their demise is inevitable. Oligarchic intent, is the target painted on the foreheads of those who would deny man, his rightful evolution. The American revolution, is not ending, it is just beginning.

they need to be hunted, pursued and wiped out to a man Apparently many an Afghan agrees with you: washingtonpost.com "Before the Taliban came this was a farm," said Mohammed Abbas, another Afghan fighter as he sat fingering wheat seeds that had spilled from a bag from Des Moines, Iowa. "Then the Taliban came and the Arabs moved in. In the beginning they were nice to us. Good Muslims. Then the war started and they changed. They became tough with us. And then they got bombed." The search for foreigners continued around Kandahar. Fighters working for Gul Agha combed an apartment complex Tuesday morning and killed six foreign men in a shootout, security officials here said. Local residents had tipped them off, they said. Fake Saudi drivers' licenses and a stack of photographs were found at the place. The officials said they believe still more Arabs and other foreigners are hiding in and around Kandahar. "They have nowhere to run," said Yusuf Pushtun, an aide to Gul Agha. "But we will find them." Hamid Karzai, who has been named to lead the interim Afghan government that will take office on Dec. 22, said he is "obsessed" with finding Omar, who sheltered bin Laden and Al Qaeda for years. "This man ruined Afghanistan," he said. "Of course I am obsessed." Afghan fighters said they are looking for foreigners and vowed to carry out rough justice. Despite an apparent U.S. plan to interrogate members of the Al Qaeda network, many Afghan gunmen said they would rather kill the foreigners. The U.S. Marine camp 55 miles south of Kandahar has been set up to process Al Qaeda prisoners. So far it has only one inmate, the American John Walker. "Capture these guys?" scoffed Mohammed Hajeri, a fighter working for Gul Agha who was on patrol in the city today. "No, I want to kill them. My commander says that's OK. If you capture these guys they usually have grenades and will blow you up and die with you. That's not a very good idea." ------------------------------------------------------------ Well it seems Afghanistan is being lost to the "Jihad" and it's well fed initiators. I wonder what the children of the slain of 9/11 will grow up to be? I wonder? Alexander? Hannibal? The seeds of the future are being planted in deep soil by the Jihad Nihilists. What will they reap?
