Afghanistan And The Magic Poppy Seed (Updates)
Alexander the Great brought a magic poppy seed to the Afghanistan people as a gift of good will. Alexander told them “Take this gift. It will give you eternal wealth.” and the graceful people thanked him with song and dance.
Years later, the British, who were broke, tried to take away from the good people of Afghanistan the magic poppy seed to sell and the Villagers beat them up proudly announcing, “No, no, no by my chiny chin chin. Go home and get your own poppy seed!” and the British went home to face their bill collectors telling them, “Yes, we have no money today!” (Boo-hoo!)
Some years later, the Russians, who were also broke said, “I know! We can take the magic poppy seed from the Afghanistans. It will be a piece of cake” they smirked. So they went to Afghanistan and said, “If you don’t give us the magic poppy seed, we will take it from you!” and the Villagers beat them up and this time, crying in thundering and massive waves of protest, “No, no, no by my chiny chin chin. Go home and get your own poppy seed!” and the Russians went home to face their bill collectors confessing, “Yes, we have no money today!” (Sob)
Bye and bye, now America, who was going broke said, “Dammit! We gotta get us some more money from somewhere!” And Dick Cheney said, “I know! We can take the magic poppy seed from the Afghanistans and sell it. It will be a slam dunk and we will do it by any means necessary!” So Dick Cheney sent his “boys” over to Afghanistan who demanded, “You jerks, if you don’t give us your magic poppy seed, we will kick your ass and take it from you!” and the Villagers shouted back, “No, no, no by my chiny chin chin. Go home and get your own poppy seed!” and the boys from Dick Cheney said, “Aw, shit! Can’t we at least share?” “Hell no!” replied the Villagers. “You think we stupid, huh, you think we crazy or something? Best you go home before we kick your ass! Scoot! Go ‘way!”
But Dick Cheney’s boys did not go home right away. As a matter of fact, they stayed and stayed trying everything they could think of to either steal the magic poppy seed from the good people of Afghanistan or at least be part owner of it and lo and behold, the Villagers, true to their threats, did kick their asses and it was only then did the Americans go home.
Too late. They went home to sit in a now darkened and somber White House because all the electricity and gas had been turned off. The bills could not be paid. They had stayed too long in Afghanistan and poverty worsened in America. People got sick and died for lack of health care. Schools and libraries were closed and people were hungry. Little children went into the streets with begging bowls. Some people tried to sell suspiciously looking tea they said was made from old family recipes. Nobody had any money.
One dark night, everybody in the White House fearfully listened as footsteps of the butcher, the baker and the War Rifle Maker came meanly up the driveway casting large, eery shadows on the White House. Armed with pitch forks and torches, they demanded their money. "Bills are not paid, From all the money you made, Give us our due, Or we will get you!" they chanted. Inside the White House, all were worried who would be asked to open the door and what would they say. So it was Barack who slowly opened the door to tell them Bush and Cheney no longer lived there but they will be paid. Somehow.
The End
As always,

1. (Afghanistan and a certain pipeline)
Surprised not to see this on here yet Updated
by James Paton Walsh
Excerpt:
Murray alleged that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based gain the rights to Uzbekistan's natural gas deposits, while oil company Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.
"The consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai, who is now president of Afghanistan," Murray noted.
