So many potentially life-ending problems exist right now on the planet Earth, that there are many companies all over the world busily working on technological "solutions."

And importantly, the types of technology sought out each time - the particular types of "solutions" - are always those that can be profitable to the corporations that were seeking a "solution."

The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.
