Yeah this is one of those facts that makes me wonder why the hell we are there.

If we won the cold war by bankrupting the Soviet Union through the costly arms race - I wonder if the terrorists are now doing the same to us. No need to fly planes into buildings, Uncle Sam will just keep funneling bodies and dollars into the battlefield where they can be wasted at their leisure.

At least if we were cold and imperialistic about our intentions we could just seize the oil fields and let the populace be damned until we were through with them.

Bah
