I may be holding a gun to someone's head? I don't follow, but I
do have one question: is capitalism an improvement on
feudalism? I think it is even though there's been a huge cost.

Besides, now that their opium trade is back up and running,
the Afgahns should be rolling in the doe again. My point to you
and Yoshie is that the Bush and Clinton administrations
were perfectly happy with the Taliban.
