29. Deny countries like Afghanistan their cultural and natural wealth and you
make it MORE likely that that the Taliban will take over agaiin and not less likely.

You want them to have their wealth and to be able to use it to make people culturally, economically and politically more powerful.

Think of art, oil, and land all in the same way. Cultural imperialism is the leading edge of economic and political imperialism. I don't know how the west is going to let go of the second two if it can't see past it's obsession with the first.
