Genocide was not enough, national governance itself must be obliterated to facilitate US access to resources. Al qaeda was invented to make Afghanistan ungovernable by the Soviets. Since that success it has become the dominant instrument of US foreign policy. To the extent that 2 presidential candidacies were based on the ability to assassinate respectively a quietly retired Pakistani subject and also the leader of Libya. Unlike Who Shot Liberty Valence, on which those candidacies were modeled, it is the US in the role of the cattle rustlers and potentially the Silk Road as the proponent of the rule of law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-9508663404024205332017-06-23T02:46:26.641-04:002017-06-23T02:46:26.641-04:00Add that trillion in the heist from taxpayers to t...Add that trillion in the heist from taxpayers to the other trillions in drug sales. Not a bad decade for the pipeline imperialists although they are losing the war against civilization to the civilized Silk Road. The US is in the role of outlaw train robbers against Chinese railroads, the grand colonial game lost to the locals. Vietnam all over again but by this domino theory one more nation from which the US is required to remove itself, doesnt equate to one better opportunity for independence. The invention of ISIS is that local self determination is co-opted. As long as there are radical islamists the US can still wage war even if not by taking ground, but secular government can be destroyed never to return as is the plan with Syria. Ultimately the Silk Road will go to the UN to clear out the US marauders and will deal themselves with defeating their ISIS surrogates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
