More than that. It produces Al Qaeda and the Taliban. These are not
primitive elements from some previous social order. They are wholly
contemporary products of, well, 'finanzcapital'. Let's face it Osama bin
Laden is more a product of financial speculation than he is of Islam,
and the Taliban more a product of the Pentagon than of Afghanistan.

Hate to say it, but those chickens did come home to roost.
