** 11-Jul-2021 World View: Afghanistan
For centuries, Afghanistan has been like an exotic woman that says,
"Take me, and I'll make you powerful and wealthy." So she's so
exotic, and she's so willing, and you imagine all the riches and power
and wealth that you'll have, and so you take her. And while you're
inside her, she pulls out a knife from under the mattress and plunges
it into you.
As you have blood pouring out of you, you stagger to the door of
her bedroom, and when you open the door, she shouts out into
the hallway: "Next!"
