Ah, the battle for hearts and minds...make that the battle for wallets and campaign contributions...of the international munitions industry and the international oil cartel, as Afghanistan is blasted away so the multinationals can profit from the killing, from the creation of a nation of really pissed off people who will serve as a source of rage that needs to be slaughtered in the future, and a country that an ongoing occupation force will be needed in so that oil pipelines and US military bases can be maintained.
