Ummm, Barry?
There's NO oil in Afghanistan. There were just some Russians who would have made no real difference in the Cold War if we'd left the thing alone and continued to bankrupt them building nukes. As we were.
(D)on't pretend that the Tali problem was visible a mile away.

I'm sure T would be just as rich and chunky white whore fucking if his ancestors hadn't been pulled out of the trees and brought to civilization. He'd either be ordering a Rambo gun from the Lord of War or digging diamonds with his one remaining arm.
