A report on another defeat for the US, supposedly the greatest military power in history-- if political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, American guns don't seem to be worth diddly-squat, as the US beats a hasty retreat rather than face the Taliban! Also note: “Nimruz is a place where business interests and criminal networks govern the province,” said Ashley Jackson, a researcher with the Overseas Development Institute, adding that a Taliban takeover that disrupted those business interests “would not have been possible.” Capitalism doesn't give a hoot about who "governs" just as long as the profits keep flowing. The Taliban, a bunch of obscurantist medieval religious fanatics, kicked out both the Soviet Union and the USA, what is the Weltgeist up to?
