it's what some have rightly called "security theater", it doesn't really
make anyone safer, most people aren't fooled by it, but the people
making the stupid decisions and wasting time get to act like they are
doing something, too bad it isn't something that might actually help,
like working to change the way we in the u.s. try and control,
manipulate, and threaten the rest of the world, and how we put puppets
into power and ignore their evil until we need a distraction from how we
promised the afghan people that we would help them rebuild if they got
the soviets out, i guess breaking that promised cost us something,
though it cost the people of afghanistan a lot more.

it might also have helped if we hadn't used the pakistani's as middle
men when we knew they were delivering the weapons primarily to the most
religiously extreme groups, oops....  the hard fact is that the last
several american presidents are responsible for creating the conditions
that let alkiada (sp??) flourish, and for letting those conditions
continue until it became a problem for us, when we had promised so much
more.  we promised to help the afghan people, we didn't, a power vacuum
developed and was filled with scum, we let the scum ferment until it
made a stink over here, then, then it was a problem worth worrying about....

i'd suggest you flame off list, particularly if you don't have anything
intelligent to say, the truth is, there is sadly a lack of things to
say.  i wish i were wrong.

Their addresses are not in the phone book, removed after 9-11.  Apparently, the location of the buildings with the big red noisy trucks with flashing lights, is a secret.
