re earlier post about taliban or muslims not having any debt is quite laughable. Economically a poorish country in europe such as spain has more industrial output than the entire middle east despite all their oil wealth. Ironically the only reason for any oil wealth is due to the technological advance of the west. The banking system/economic/political system has known shockwaves before. It happened in the 1929 depression and yet 80 years later the situation in the world is what we see today where muslim nations are still basically the bottom of the heap (apart from the oil welfare system). The taliban as an army is not existent however the taliban as a potential force for ruling a bunch of illiterate fools with no future seems very persuasive. Better to give it over as what afghanistan has doesnt justify the expense of being there. Iran with the bomb can be compared to a gangster with a gun. A gun is useful for what it gets for you. Let us see what it gets iran. It wont get them any economic political social benefits but will secure the chains around their much maligned and abused people for a little longer by keeping the ayatollahs in power. Oh I forgot muslims do like to see other muslims in chains all for the sake of islam. Nuclear bombs and massive firepower and superior idealogies to islam have disappeared last century alone so it wont save a failed idealogy either way.
