People need to understand how toxic corporate-rule is. Corporate rule pushed us into suburbs, where we became addicted to cars and TV. These two "products" lead to more poisoning (of the community, of the air and land, etc.)

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.
