Does the name 'Ed Kelleher' ring any bells?

Not your father's fault - or anyone else who served in the armed forces. When it comes to governments that's different. Without going back too far in time , Afghanistan wasn't doing too bad under the Russians - women had the right to education and to wear what they liked. It was a relatively stable and prosperous country for that part of the world. Along comes Uncle Sam and gives old Osama and his mujahideen pals lots of money and arms ( and cia training ) to kick out the Russians in a bloody war and the muslims take charge - first thing they do is stop poppy growing - no more heroin . Good thing huh? But the women are back in the stone age. Then Al and the quieda's ( Osama's backing group ) start kicking up shit and biting the hand that armed them - so in goes Uncle Sam and he's still in there .The next thing you know - poppy/heroin production is at an all time high - Yay ! Good thing huh? The country's in ruins , your soldiers are being killed , the civilians are being killed- and your government bloody well started it !Old Osama and his gang got their start with the good 'ol US of A. Governments start it and the population , on all sides , bear the brunt. The words stir and hornets and nest spring to mind. This is a rant against your ( and with Iraq - my ) government, not the poor buggers who are in the firing line - which may be you or me soon. p.s. you forgot south america - but the cia do a good job so no troops needed.
