The state makes the wars and the wars make the state.

In case you haven’t heard, the US Military has discovered vast amounts of minerals in Afghanistan that were previously not known to exist. Well the US government knows now…and so does our friend Dave Aldrich who writes so eloquently at his long running site, The Observer:

(Reprinted by permission)

The state makes the wars and the wars make the state.


The geophysicists told the generals about the minerals.
The amount was not minimal but rather plentiful.
The generals said it was doable,
to extract the minerals,
We shall persuade Karzai that it was allowable
to extract our minerals—he is so amenable.
Finally, they chortled.
The war will now be profitable
as we extract our minerals.
We need only make it winnable.
That’s easy, said the generals.
Everyone is killable.
That is so reasonable,
since they have our minerals.
