Coffee anyone?

Imagine that a foreign government is orchestrating a ruthless terrorist war against you. It funds and instructs the terrorists, who deliberately murder civilians, rape women, smash babies against trees and innumerable other atrocities - all this takes place within the borders of your country, and continues until the task of the foreign government is complete: to have a government in place of which it approves. Then the terrorists want to sell you coffee. Do you buy it?

Is that some kind of joke?

Next the Taliban will be proudly marketting freedom-fighter opium (maybe in 15 or so years, when they're being heavily funded again and praised for the continuous liberation of Afghanistan from terror.)

Incidentally, Rob Schultheis's Night Letters: Inside Wartime Afghanistan is an excellent read. As is, in a different vein, Gabe Hudson's Dear Mr. President.

It's no joke Matt- there's several Right wing sites that have contra coffee advert links. Just goes to show the link between the Right and terrorism, and all that.

[what gives?]

The online profiles of our "Freedom Pickers" relate that they were in fact draft-dodgers during the early/mid-eighties.

Not to invoke the crudest variety of relativism, but...

[what a timely post]
