My Kind of Guys

In 1977, five men met on the campus of Stanford University in Menlo Park, California, to finalize the building of a heroin pipeline from Afghanistan to the U.S. The purpose of this venture was to fund two covert operations. The good Christians in the U.S., the arrogant bluebloods in the U.K., and the Israeli pit vipers wanted to start a war between Russia and Afghanistan and a war between Iraq and Iran. With clock-like precision, these five guys--two from the U.S., and one each from the U.K., Israel, and Saudi Arabia--not only got the heroin flowing from Afghanistan into the West like Niagara Falls, they were able to get both wars going simultaneously.

Because of the betrayal of four of these men at that meeting, Mr. Osama bin Laden said he was going to bankrupt the U.S. and he has come frightening close if he hasn't done so. The U.S. is in the red to the tune of two trillion dollars. True, he got a lot of help from friends in high places like the White House, #10 Downing Street and that beautiful palace in Saudi Arabia.

It takes a person who really, really, really hates Osama bin Laden and would love to take a baseball bat and beat him and his family to death to have at least some idea of how I feel about them. I guess that's because I have more respect for a Middle East terrorist trying even the score than I do a damn Western terrorist that kills people just for the hell of it.
