And has this pipeline earned the US $450 billion in oil revenue yet? Because that's how much the war in Afghanistan has cost to date (http://costofwar.com/en/), and the cost is still rising. You'd expect the people who could get away with destroying the WTC with only a few paranoid lunatics noticing what they were really up to to be able to do a decent cost-benefit analysis on an oil pipeline and the occupation of a country. And are the US making much money out of these poppy fields? I wasn't aware that there was a tax on heroin, in fact it's generally a bit of a drain on society. That's just ridiculous. China enjoys good relations with the central Asian nations north of Afghanistan, which are better terrain for building a pipeline through anyway. In fact, there is already a pipeline running through Kazakhstan into China. And if you're trying to restrict the flow of oil to China, surely you want less oil pipelines, not more.
You have alot to learn about the world Peadar. Its cost the tax payers 450 billion, but as explained before, the governments dont earn money from war, those behind it do. The CIA control the drug trade, the 3 biggest earners are Oil, Arms, Drugs. WHy do you think they installed Karzai? His brother was known as the Opium King.
Peadar, I was running high class hookers from a dilapidated bedsit in south Clermont-Ferrand when you where listening to bed time stories. I was moving heroin in Kamyzyak with rogue KGB agents when you where still taking packed lunches to school.
