U.S. may send 7,000 more troops to Afghanistan to protect a bumper
heroin crop.

Business is business and the U.S. banks and Wall Street depend on the
success of the Afghan opium/heroin crop.

"Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only
sustainable competitive advantage."
--- Arie de Gues:

Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand. Afghanistan had been the world's
largest producer of opium/heroin, claiming close to 70% of the world's
total production. The amount of drug cash flowing into Wall Street and
U.S. banks was estimated to be around $250-$300 billion a year. The
history of the drug trade in Central Asia is intimately related to the
CIA's covert operations. The U.S., directly or indirectly, helped to
fund the WTC attacks. George Bush, Sr. was in charge of all U.S.
intelligence and narcotics operations from 1981 through 1989. It was
Bush (the elder) who directly nourished and nurtured bin Laden's
evolution.

Alliance With Pakistan Will Stimulate Drug Trade, Bring Revenues Under
U.S. Control - Colombian Opium Production Will Soar

The Taliban's Biggest Economic Attack on the U.S. Came in February
With The Destruction of Its Opium Crop

FTW - Money connections between Bush Republicans and Osama bin Laden
go way back and the political and economic connections have remained
unbroken for 20 years. And what appears to be a "new" alliance with
Pakistan is merely a new manifestation of a decades-long partnership
in the heroin trade.

Conveniently ignored in all of the press coverage since the tragic
events of Sept. 11 is the fact that on May 17 Secretary of State Colin
Powell announced a gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a purported
reward for its eradication of Afghanistan's opium crop. That, in
effect, made the U.S. the Taliban's largest financial benefactor
according to syndicated columnist Robert Scheer writing in The Los
Angeles Times. But -- as we described in FTW's March 2001 issue -- the
Taliban's destruction of that crop was apparently the single most
important act of economic warfare against U.S. economic interests that
the Taliban had ever committed. So why the gift?

Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand and the opium/heroin production is
again a hugh success.

Afghanistan had been the world's largest producer of opium/heroin,
claiming close to 70% of the world's total production. That opium,
consumed largely in Western Europe and smuggled through the Balkans,
was a direct source of cash deposits in Western financial institutions
and markets

My thinking is still adjusting from a military where victory was the
goal to a world of sustainable conflict management.

'conflict management' sounds better, as long as it is constructive in

"Victory" is a non-sequitur, given the current false application of the term.

One can not have 'victory' over an invisible and undefinable 'thing'.


> 'victory' means domination.

Victory means that the victor gets to write the history books.


> So... victory is out.

Certainly in the middle east it's out.... Lawrence of Arabia warned us of
this long, long ago, and history itself has proven that the region can NOT
be occupied for any serious length of time.

Do you mean 'beneficial'... or do you mean "constructive" by way of creating
long-term profits for it's corporate sponsors?

;-)


"The moment war is declared... the mass of the people, through
some spiritual alchemy, become convinced that they have willed
and executed the deed themselves. They then, with the exception
of a few malcontents, proceed to allow themselves to be regimented,
coerced, deranged in all the environments of their lives, and turned
into a solid manufactory of destruction toward whatever other people
may have, in the appointed scheme of things, come within the range
of the Government's disapprobation...
-- Randolph Bourne, "The State", 1918
