Right now the US is running a corrupt, narco-state called Afghanistan. Why?

Pipelines. No one mentions the P-word. Energy pipelines, that's why we're there. Friend Karzai once worked as a consultant for the oil giant firm, Unocal. Current government installed by the CIA. Remember, the CIA was sending guys around on horseback with wads of bills in their saddle packs --paying vast sums to the anti-Taliban (And anti -Pushton) Northern Alliance. We provided air support to the NA troops in their fight to defeat the Taliban. The NA won and a lot of corrupt/narco Tajik war lords were put in power. Still there.

A giant pipeline is planned for Afghanistan--one that will bring middle east gas/oil to the west (and avoid, Russia and Iran). That's the holy grail for the US. That's why we are in Afghanistan and that's why Karzai is our man in Kabul. Almost makes you want to stop driving!
