Not so complicated after all!
From a news story this morning:
Oh good. Maybe this will finally get the Feds to start working on economic development and job creation.
What? What's that you say? McChrystal isn't talking about our soldiers returning home to a country that has no jobs for them? He's talking about Afghan soldiers and the Afghan economy?

The words "America" and "Afghanistan" are sort of similar, and our government is protecting and advancing the interests of "Afghanistan" instead of "America". All we need to do is inform them of this fact, and they will straighten up and fly right. ¶ 6:53 AM
