War on terror
Around the world in 3 paragraphs...your war on terror today:
- 87 inmates at Guantanamo continue their hunger strike. A sizable chunk of America would rather the inmates starve to death, so I don't think you're going to sway public opinion much. Especially when so many Americans have spent the last week on an involuntary hunger strike.
- Afghani opiates continue to flood Europe. Neither Hamid Karzai nor the British -- who will take over the NATO mission in May -- seem to know how to respond. What are the consequences? "EU officials are worried that the reconstruction of Afghanistan will be increasingly threatened if the problem is not tackled, fearing a return of the Taliban to power."
- The Baghdad airport was closed because the British company in charge of security claims it hasn't been paid for seven months. The company also provides security in the Green Zone. I'm sure that bill gets paid. "[Global Strategies Group] has about 1,100 employees in Iraq - mainly former Nepalese and Fijian soldiers." Who better to deal with the ancient desert rivalries than Pacific Islanders and Hindu mountaineers?
