ah, you are a classical realist that the likes of bismarck and morgenthau would have cheered on.

i personally believe that the only reason why we're not succeeding as we should is simply because we haven't bribed enough people enough.

opium fields? just bribe the dirt-poor opium farmers. insurgents? as col yu said, bribe 'em and they come over. mullahs? ah, i bet if you slipped 'em enough $$ they'd soon be singing the praises of the gov't.

i mean, the friggin' soviets did it, and they actually had their own little atheist communist party going in afghanistan. so much for the most dedicated muslims on earth.
