meanwhile in the real world

Instead of spending millions of wasted dollars in Afghanistan on troop build up, corruption in the central government ( I use the term government loosely) and big projects that languish, let the Afghanis do it themselves. Let them build roads,put in wells, plant profitable crops ( other than opium) teach their girls how to read. A little bit goes a long way instead of bloated ugly production like a bad Vegas show. I've said it before and I'll say it again: stop using million dollar solutions to fifty dollars problems.
