Where Empires Die

     It was the British in around 1924.  Then the Soviets in the 1980's.  Now America is there in Afghanistan.  There are problems here at home.  Oh well we have David Petraeus with his fancy uniform.  All he needs in his Senate Committee hearing is a pimp hat with a pheasant feather.  How in hell is a country that is in the 1700's suppose to ever developed into a new world?
